SINGAPORE: About 23,000 nurses in public healthcare institutions and Intermediate and Long-Term Care (ILTC) institutions supported by the Ministry of Health (MOH) can expect their monthly pay to increase by up to 20 per cent over two years.
A Nurse Special Payment will also be made every December starting this year. For 2014 and 2015, this payment will be 0.5 months of the base salary.
These changes are part of the 15 recommendations the National Nursing Taskforce has submitted to the Health Ministry to enhance the growth, professional development and recognition of nurses. The taskforce, which was set up in 2012 to review and chart the future direction of the nursing profession, had all of its 15 “wide-ranging” recommendations accepted by Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Wednesday (Aug 6).
With these changes, more Enrolled Nurses - nurses who are trained at the Institute of Technical Education - will have the opportunity to be upgraded at polytechnics to become Registered Nurses. The part-time bridging course, currently offered at Nanyang and Ngee Ann Polytechnics, is for those who did not meet the academic requirement in their NITEC nursing course and would like to enrol in nursing diploma courses.
Under the taskforce's recommendations, the GPA criteria of 2.8 for this course will be removed and nurses can use at least three years of post-enrollment nursing work as well as an employer's testimonial to move on to become a Registered Nurse.
round 3 - Raise of up to 12% for Home Team officers, with sign-on bonuses of up to S$30,000
