Below are the statistics of Singaporean nurses based on four types of nurses, namely registered nurses,  enrolled nurses, registered midwives, and advanced practical nurses.

Section B: The Career Pathway

According to Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH), nurses are classified as "Registered Nurse"(RN)  and "Enrolled Nurse"(EN).

Registered nurses can specialize their nursing skills in different practices, and can further their career as an Advance Practice Nurse (APN) which includes Nurse Clinician, Nurse Educator, and Nurse  Manager. 

To be classified as a registered nurse, the person must have attained at least one of the following qualifications from MOH - recognized institutions as per the table below. To enrol in the courses to get these qualifications, applicants need O-Levels, A-Levels, or diploma  and degree qualifications.  Refer to the table below for education requirements at a glance.

Enrolled nurses are those who assist the Registered Nurses to provide holistic nursing care for  patients and can progress to be a Senior Enrolled Nurse to take on higher nursing responsibilities.  They may also become a registered nurse by obtaining the relevant qualifications stipulated for  registered nurses.In short, this is a alternative career pathway. 

For enrolled nurses, the minimum entry requirement for course qualification is an N-Level  certificate. They must also have acquired a “Nitec” diploma or its equivalent in nursing. 

Advanced practice nurses (APN) are a subset of registered nurses in Singapore. 

The role is a Registered Nurse (RN) who has acquired expert knowledge base, complex decision making skills and clinical competencies for extended practice. They are trained in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. 

APNs provide a broad range of healthcare services. They work collaboratively with doctors and other  healthcare professionals to provide complex nursing care to patients. They use advanced assessment  and clinical skills to anticipate and manage complex situations, administering therapies for managing  of actual and potential health issues. 

They also participate in the development of evidence-based practice, integrating theoretical and  practice-based knowledge to influence the development of nursing, health practice, and policy at local and national levels.

APNs can sub-specialize into different disciplines. They are currently certified in these four  specialities: acute, medical or surgical care, community and mental health.  a) Acute care APNs practice in intensive care units and emergency departments;  b) Medical or surgical APNs can function in general and specialized clinical settings such as oncology,  gerontology, cardiology, and neurology;  c) Community APNs care for patients with common acute conditions & chronic conditions at the polyclinics( outpatient clinics) and the community;  d) Mental health APNs can function in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. In 2019, there are 267 APNs of which 251 work in the public sector. Source: https://www.moh.gov.sg/hpp/nurses/career-practices/CareerNPracticesDetails/nursing-training-and-education

Section C: Salary Range

In 2020, Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) announced an S$150 million scheme to benefit nurses and support care staff in community care. Multiple pay enhancements and public relations campaigns (such as the #ICHOOSETOBEANURSE campaign) are signs of the importance the country is placing on nursing. 

In a Channel News Asia (CNA) commentary in February 2020, MOH is quoted as clarifying that  “average gross monthly salary, after adding in allowances and bonuses, for entry-level registered nurses ranges from S$3,300 to S$5,200 depending on their qualifications”. However, according to a PayScale report of 2023, the average base salary for a staff nurse in Singapore is S$34,748 per year.

So how about enrolled nurses ?  

And are there variations among nurses within the island nation? 

Singapore government hospitals are managed by different management groups known as “ clusters”  such as the National University Health System (NUHS), SingHealth, National Healthcare Group  (NHG), and NTUC Health Co-Operative ( which operates outpatient clinics) etc. 

The Singapore Healthcare Services Employees’ Union (HSEU) makes agreements for the salary ranges of nurses in different healthcare clusters and institutions.The salary ranges referred to below  are based on HSEU's agreements with NUHS, SingHealth, NHG, and NTUC Health Co-Operative. 

The latest agreement with NHG, NUHS and Singhealth is effective 1st April 2022 until 3st March 2025. The agreement with NTUC Health Co-Operative is effective January 1, 2020 till December 31,  2022. The new agreement for 2023 is yet to be declared. Presented below are the salary ranges as per the different clusters. 

The salary range for NTUC Health Co-Operative nurses: 

NTUC Health Co-Operative uses a job grade system. The grades as per Appendix 3A and 3B of "NTUC Health Co-operative Employees' Agreement 2020" The salary ranges for NTUC Health Co-Operative nurses are below:

Section D: Working Conditions

Based on HSEU's agreements with NUHS, SingHealth, and NHG, the maximum working hours per week for nurses is 42 hours for regular shift, 40 hours for a rotating shift, and 38 hours for permanent night shift. 

The detailed breakdowns of maximum working hours per week for the different healthcare clusters are below: 

• Regular shift: 42 hours (excluding meal breaks) per week 
• Permanent night shift: 38 hours per week  
• Rotating shifts: 40 hours per week (averaged over a 2 or 3-week cycle)

SingHealth:

• Permanent night shift: 38 hours per week 
• Rotating shifts: 40 hours per week (averaged over a 2 or 3week roster) 
• Rotating shifts: 40 hours per week (averaged over a 2 or 3 week roster)

Section E: Applying for Work and Certification

Under the Nurses and Midwives Act (Chapter 209), a person must be registered/enrolled with the  Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) and possess a valid Practising Certificate (PC) in order to practice nursing/midwifery in Singapore.  A simple flowchart showing the essential steps:

Eligibility  Foreign trained Nurses who wish to work in Singapore must be registered/enrolled with SNB. 

You must have an offer of employment with an eligible healthcare hospital/institution in Singapore  before SNB can consider your application for registration or enrolment. 

The Human Resource (HR) department of the hospital/institution offering you employment must  enquire with SNB via email on their eligibility to employ foreign qualified nurses. Once  approved, HRs can then submit application for registration/enrolment on your behalf via online  application. 

For foreign trained nurses, to be eligible for application for registration/enrolment, you must have  the following:

• Completion of a pre-registration / pre-enrolment nursing programme, which is  equivalent to an accredited pre-registration / pre-enrolment nursing programme in  Singapore (as assessed by SNB); 
• nursing/midwifery registration from the country where you are trained; as well as iii. current practising license as a nurse or midwife; 
• relevant clinical nursing practice in home country within the past 5 years.

Documents  must be certified as "true copies" of the original and bear the stamp "Certified as true copy of the  original". 

These must be initialled on every page of the document by the authorized officer (Justice of Peace,  Notary Public or your employer, unless otherwise stated).The certified documents must include the  name of authorized officer (full name), signature, date of certification and healthcare institution  stamp and the notarization must be made in English. 

Certified true copies will only be accepted in hard copy by mail or in person (Fax or Email will not be  accepted). 

All documents submitted to SNB for application for registration/enrolment will be kept by SNB as  documentary proof and are not returnable. SNB states that it does not work with employment  agents and agents are to work directly with the healthcare institutions’ human resource department. 

As of 2021, the fee for application is SGD60 for Foreign-trained nurses. Upon confirmation of  registration, there is a registration fee which costs SGD55. For the latest fee requirement it’s best to  check with the SNB. 

The application process would take about four weeks, depending on situation. Once SNB approves  you, you would be required to either: 

• Sit for an examination – Licensure Examination ( see below) to test for competency • An interview, 
• Or placed on provisional registration/enrollment. 

If you are successful for the examination or any of the other two outcomes, you will be eligible to  apply for a practice certificate (PC) and a work pass with help from the employer. You will be notified  via an email sent directly to you or via your employing human resources (HR) personnel. https://www.healthprofessionals.gov.sg/snb/registration-enrolment/application-for-registration-enrolment/foreign-trained-nurses-midwives

Section F: The Licensure Examination

Foreign trained nurses/midwives are required to sit for the SNB Registered Nurse (RN),  Enrolled Nurse (EN) or Registered Midwife (RMW) Licensure Examinations. The examination is  designed to evaluate their competency to practise nursing/midwifery in Singapore. 

SNB will provide a notification letter to candidates of Licensure Examination of their examination  date and venue. A stipulated fee for Licensure Examination is applicable. The examinations each  consists of 100 multiple choice questions and lasts 240 minutes. Each examination is graded on a  scale of 0-100 and the passing score is 72 points or higher.

American nurse to Singapore

World International

Published Dec 18, 2010

I'm in need of some advice in regards to International Nursing. My husband is a pilot and we've decided to relocate to Singapore for his job. I have a feeling this will be the first of the many moves we will be making in our new life together and was wondering how to continue to work as a nurse overseas. I'm an American citizen with an Associate Degree in Nursing and have had an amazing 13yr career, most recently working as an International Flight Nurse. I have been looking into the job market in Singapore and am getting rather discouraged. I understand I can work under my husband's work visa, but need a job offer or to be sponsored by a hospital in order to become registered with the Singapore Board of Nursing (SBN). I understand that Singapore requires a Diploma as a minimum educational requirement, but the SBN told me they look at it as a case by case basis. I simply have a few questions that I hope someone can answer...

1. Has anyone been able to find enployment in Singapore as an RN with an ADN? Not just as an enrolled nurse?

2. Can anyone recommend using a staffing agency such as Randstad, or should I go about it on my own?

3. Does anyone know of any other recruitment agencies?

4. Are there any hospitals that offer expat packages?

If I'm unable to work as an RN in Singapore, I would like to use my time there (2yrs) to continue my education, and I've been looking at RN -BSN courses on-line. I would really like to find a program thats quick, affordable and recognized by other countries (ie; AUS, UK, USA), and any information or support would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I know this is an old post, but I'm curious what you ended up doing?

I took the job

worked for a yr and moved to another country where I could not work as a RN so I did volunteer work with the UN

till I fell pregnant and couldn’t continue due to high risk of infectious diseases

was a great experience! Wouldn’t trade it for anything

Customer Reviews

Professional, friendly and extremely well-organized

They were professional, friendly and extremely well organized. They even offered candy after my flu jabs. Highly recommend them for any urgent last minute vaccinations.

Shaad Hamid

Felt completely relaxed throughout

I took my daughter for her Hepatitis A and B vaccinations. We booked earlier on the same day and then were seen immediately even though we turned up early. My daughter was made to feel completely relaxed throughout.

Matt Warnes

Efficient and very knowledgeable

I visited the clinic today for my meningitis and flu vaccinations. Booking was easy, no queue in the clinic and the nurse was quick, efficient and very knowledgeable. The injections were painless and so far no side effects at all. Personal highlight of the visit is that they give you a chocolate after the injection! Call me a small child, but I love that aspect of the service.

Joseph Harbinger

Easy online booking

Professional, friendly, our new go-to for vaccinations. Easy online booking, seen same day. Highly recommended.

Katelijn Van Nes

Highly recommended for all travel vaccines

We visited the clinic for our yellow fever vaccination and experience was superb and hassle-free. The booking was super easy and staff are very kind and welcoming. The nurse is highly experienced and an expert in her job. She is amazing with kids too. It was a painless process all in all. They went out of their way to deliver some oral drops at my doorstep. The clinic is highly recommended for all travel vaccines.
