I sorry that I reply U so so late. me lost my allnurses password and took me some time to get back online again.

In my country, Singapore(U know where it is?), there is a shortage of nurses, the polytechnic and Ministry of Health launched the two-year accelerated diploma programme (Healthcare) - Nursing in April 2003(just before SARS happened).

Mid-career change locals are like my age and older who have their degrees/diplomas in some other fields and a minimum of two years working experience without prior healthcare knowledge and skills and want to be a registered nurse can attend the accelerated diploma programme and embark on their professional nursing careers.

Most Singapore registered nurses have a least a diploma in Nursing, but more and more are gaining their advanced diplomas, degrees and masters :)

My nursing class is the normal diploma programme, it is three years and accepts students after they have obtained their Cambridge O Levels results, so my classmates are relatively younger. For them, nursing is their first career.
