Serious SQ Stewardesses To Be Redeployed As Nurses At KTP Hospital! Ready For 9-Hour Front Line Shift After Crash Course In Nursing!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Instead of serving passengers on a plane, 30 Singapore Airlines (SIA) cabin crew members will be caring for patients in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) instead, starting from next week.

They are the first batch of cabin crew, who were temporarily grounded due to cancelled flights in the light of the coronavirus outbreak, to be redeployed as "care ambassadors" at the public hospital in Yishun.

They will be assigned to low-risk wards and support hospital care teams to carry out basic caregiving procedures, nutritional care as well as patient service management for patients.


Patients in these general wards are treated for, among other things, chronic diseases, heart disorders and acute surgical conditions.

On Tuesday (April 7), the care ambassadors underwent medical screening, vaccinations and a hospital orientation.

They also watched a demonstration on serving meals to patients, one of the tasks they will carry out in the course of work during their three-month stint at the hospital.

Over the next five days, they will undergo training and be taught basic medical terminologies, vital signs monitoring, oral feeding, as well as positioning, turning and ambulating a patient.

They will also be trained in safety and infection control measures and will be required to wear a mask, similar to what nurses and doctors wear, although they will have no direct contact with Covid-19 patients.

From next week, they will be deployed to work the nine-hour day and night shifts at the hospital, five days a week.

Ms Shirley Heng, chief nurse at KTPH, said: "This is also a good opportunity for our nurses to exchange knowledge and skills on service with the crew of SIA, who are top service professionals.

"We hope that this will be a meaningful experience for them."

She added that the collaboration with SIA will help boost the manpower needs, as more healthcare staff have been reassigned to care for Covid-19 related patients.

Mr Tan Pee Teck, SIA's senior vice-president cabin crew, said: "We are very proud of our cabin crew, who have responded positively to this call to meaningfully support our front-line staff at Singapore's healthcare facilities."

So it turns out that nursing is indeed a lowly skilled work. A simple crash course, and the air stewardess is qualified to work with patients suffering from chronic illnesses and heart ailments.

Yeah. I was picturing the doctors talking about this in the canteen or food court of MO room.

"Eh, we gonna have air stewardesses in the wards now!"

"Steady lah can beo chiobus"

Yes notice the hairstyle of the 3 is standard SIA hairstyle.

 

[nayr69sg]

Actually good lah. give the male doctors a morale booster.

reminds me of honeycomb hairdo of the 60s.

hanor, that's how the phrase "no money, no honey" originated - from wallet to orifice

 

[viremia]

Hundreds of student doctors and nurses have their attachments cancelled and now this hospital calls in SIA cabin crew.........what a joke.

I can strongly sense someone has eaten sour grapes here!
But I seriously doubt such low skilled work you'll be able to perform also. LOL

 

[knowwhatyouwantinlife]

At least 20% of stewardess and stewards are either enrolled nurse or staff nurse qualified but felt that flying in the air was more glamorous than being grounded, well guess what karma bites again

sometimes called “beehive” hairdo too, queen bee will ensure they behave in the beehive. otherwise no honey and no money.

If you can get hold of the pa system, just announce "Cabin Crew, please prepare for gate departure.”

seriously, if that's the case, it's a silly move as the exposure circumstances are similar to what the cabin crew are exposed to.
a airline service professional compared to a intern or those undergoing training in medical procedures, plus their passion in being in the med profession, beats looks or serving meal trays anytime

 

[jw5]

Very caring and comforting.

 

[bushtucker]

the male patients would be happy. suddenly being served by younger, prettier and voluptuous stand-in nurses.
