Resign?I urge all nurses who do not agree to being discriminated for not wanting to vaccinate, to resign! In fact all should demand better work conditions!
You are doing a service and yet get screwed with the risks, the testy patients, the double shifts, the zero rest days, the no leave policy, the discrimination, the fact they disallow you your tudung! While your ministers is isolated from danger but still earning the million dollar salary. How much bonus you nurses got last year? Pathetic right?
Go take a 3 month break. Then come back into the private sector. There is always jobs for nurses. Else go apply in Australia, UK, Canada, USA. They pay a lot better with better working conditions and benefits. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot!

If they are reluctant to vaxx for whatever reason, and then they choose to work in an environment which is dangerous and may catch the virus and die.
I just suggest the other alternative, that since they do not want to be vaxxed, its better to be poor than dead. And maintain their principle.
Same with Quebec.over in sillycon valley if nurses and docs don’t get vaccinated, they’re either let go or suspended. kaiser, largest healthcare provider in californication, just suspended over 1.69k healthcare workers.

MOH is 'pragmatic'. They know that if nurses start to quit, those who remain and fully vaxxed, will be overloaded and they too will eventually quit.
Ends up nobody will want to work in the hospitals as nurses. Then more patients will die. And then more nurses quit again. And the cycle goes on and on.

I am actually heartened in a way that you think that nurses will quit if overloaded and overworked etc.
But does this worry you? Worried what it could mean to the healthcare system? Or you can't be bothered if the healthcare system collapsed anyway?
Unfortunately, the truth is far from what you have described.
Firstly nurses have a calling to help people. As such their professional body will very much frown on nurses quitting left right centre. Nurses themselves also sincerely care for people and patients which is why they entered the profession.
Secondly, government will table back to work legislation even in the event of a strike. I say this from the Canadian perspective. Singapore strikes are unheard of across all industries and professions.
Healthcare is deemed an essential service hence doctors and nurses are essentially not allowed to strike period. Anyone trying to instigate these things face legal action, fines and even prison terms.
So your fears are unfounded.
In the meantime I hope you take some time to reflect and sympathize with healthcare workers. What is happening however is the opposite. A lot of demonizing of the healthcare profession : doctors and nurses and pharma in particular. There are also those who laugh and gaslight HCWs saying they earn MORE money during this period, have MORE business and should be THANKFUL they have a job.
Many facets to this issue. Nurses quitting en masse is impossible to happen across the world. Same for doctors. The system has been set up to ensure such events cannot and do not happen.
You will have a throng of nurses and drs quit in protest across the world but by and large it is mostly symbolic and has no real significant impact on the system.
After that International Turban Day? International Cross Day?Hmmm is there anything that forbids Muslim men from wearing Tudung?
I think it would be a good gesture on the part of Muslim men to wear tudung to support their women. Maybe not like daily at the start but for a day a year first?
Hey maybe even non Muslims can wear as well in support. Imagine whole world everyone wears Tudung on a particular day.
International Tudung Day!
Why not? There is international day for so many things!After that International Turban Day? International Cross Day?
As a experienced hospital acquaintance my uncle think this is mostlee true for the staff nurse but not the enrolled nurse I.e those in leeferent colour of uniform as staff nurse. Most of them especiallee the minahs and Indians are verlee lazy and just want to 骗吃 as they cannot be a leegistered nurse and they do all the dirty jobs of changing Diapers etc they like to tekan and bullee the elderlees.Firstly nurses have a calling to help people.

Resign?
Means no money.
Not everybody can afford to not work like you bro.
Moving to Canada to be a nurse also not so simple. Need to take exams and qualify. Also Canada not offering PR skilled class for people not in Canada now.
Can tell those hard core anti vaxxers here are old retirees at least age above 60
That means about half a mil of sg population gonna wiped out over next 2 years !Of the unvaccinated, more than half are children below the age of 12 and are not yet eligible. The remaining 400,000 unvaccinated comprise about 100,000 seniors aged 60 and above, and an estimated 300,000 individuals aged 12 to 59 years.
