cornyfish2000 SG Medicine in Uni only takes in top 'A' Level students, never poly students. Currently nursing poly grads can always go overseas to do a nursing degree, but very soon NUS will start a Degree for Nursing, so just hold your breath. Starting pay for these nurses with degree will be alot higher than those with diplomas.
flyt0thesky SG i got 2 more years to 'O' level. enuff time anot? hope poly got set up sociology,psychology,social work. ill prefer this field.
cornyfish2000 SG Definitely lor, if you're taking 'O's in 2 years time it'll be like 8 more years before you go university.
pArameDic SG Dear all, I'm sad that public still has this perception that Diploma in nursing are for those who doesnt score very well in 'O' levels. If thats the case, all nurses are stupid? Anyway, some or i should say minority of the nurses in Singapore are not genuie in taking care of the patients, or rather they wanna have a secure job in case of any retrentchment. Singapore are so short of nurses, nurses will never be out of job. Some even flew to other countries where nurses are treated as nightingale rather than maids and servants to the patients in singapore. I must confess that i obtain a bachelor in nursing to 'cover my buttock' in case thats too many diploma nurses on the streets. But to me, the singapore nursing board (SNA) is doing too little to promote the status of nurses locally. Izzit all the old maids holding the SNA positions deeply believed that we, nurses are a pair of 'helping hands' to the doctors or maids to the patient? We should be look upon as professionals like any accountant and teachers. rather than low class healthcare providers.
