Hi Monica,

I’m surprise that you want to work in Singapore! I used to work in Singapore for 5 years before coming to US (Kentucky). I’m not sure about the process for a foreign nurse to get a license and job in Singapore but US do recognise my Diploma in Nursing (which equivalent to Associate Degree in Nursing in US).

This is my 2nd year in US and I have been working with 1 hospital here only at the moment. But I can tell you, it’s kinda similar with the care and management. If you have been working in US, I don’t see why you can’t cope in the hospital in SG.

Best of luck!

Don't know anything about nursing in Singapore, however a friend of mine lived there for 5 years and adored it.

I would say a good place to start is always the nursing regulatory body in the country you're interested in:

https://www.healthprofessionals.gov.sg/snb

Good luck.
