Read the highlighted in bold sentence. So in order to be allowed to practice in singapore, these phillippines nurses must pass examinations given by AGENCIES in the Phillippines for the Singapore Nursing Board!! WTF? is the Singapore Nursing Board so stupid that they think some Phillippines agency will give the exams on their behalf without cheating, bribing, and other illegal subterfuge? bet your last dollar that unqualified or fake nurses will be buying the exam paper before the test. I guess its too much for the SNB to buy a $300 roundtrip ticket for someone from their office to go to manila, borrow a room from the singapore embassy and hold their exams there? What sort of shit integrity is this? I have never heard of such a thing in my life. Any pinoy nurse licensed to practice in USA, canada, Australia, etc. have to take their exams in those countries. But for some reason, SNB is very trusting of Pinoy nurses who have in the past threatened to kill their sinkie patients as in that asshole Ed Bello. Or are they just plain stupid. Speaks to the lack of integrity in the health care system here. MOH is just as culpable in this shit by not requiring all tests to be administered here.
Singapore’s Ministry of Health has announced the need for more than 20,000 health workers in 2020.
According to the Ministry of Health, the population in Singapore continues to increase along with the rising number of people with health problems.
A shortage in health workers is being expected in the near future.
Applicants just need to accomplish the Singaporean government requirements.
“They must be licensed and have passed with PRC. Meaning, they must be registered nurses in the Philippines,” Singapore registered nurse Alicia Binuya said.
“They must have at least 2 or 3 years of experience. Then, they must pass examinations given by agencies in the Philippines for the Singapore Nursing Board for them to become full-pledged staff nurse in Singapore or an enrolled nurse,” she added.
Despite the government’s call to Singaporeans to enter the health sector, their lack of skills in the field of medicine is an opportunity for workers from outside their country, including the Philippines.
