From my knowledge, things might have changed over the years, I have not been catching up. What I know, is that, they have Nursing Aide. Enrol Nurse, RN = Registered Nurse & SRN = State Registered Nurse. From my old Time, Nursing Assistant, Nurse. SRN & then Matron. Matron, is like the one, you see in "one flew over the cuckoo nest"..I have many classmates, whose mum are SRN or Matron, these people usually gets their nursing certificate in UK , Scotland, Ireland, England or Australia & have title like Fellowship of..something nursing something. With a SRN qualification, recognise worldwide...you get employed as a medical professional straightaway anywhere.
This ah neh, you may be right....I think is a nursing aide & with the training, must b sleeping through lectures, cannot recognise the symptom of an UTI & especially during pregnancy, one must see a doctor, right away & one wonder where was her O&G doctor? Maybe, she , during pregnancy was still having an infected lingam...dare not see a doctor or she is educated from that mumbai university also...
Still pretty unchanged since your time. The position 'Matron" is now what is called a Senior Staff Nurse. In those days, very few staff nurses made it to "Matron" position. Many got married along the way, when to other vocations, burn out, etc. The Matrons were the most seow on anal bitches around. I have a couple of relatives who were matrons. They are very good at ass kissing the doctors and fawn over the Dr.'s words like gospel from god. That is how they got the position. back then, all they had was a O level and then when to school of nursing at SGH, they sure as hell don't have the intellect or money to get nursing certificate in UK, etc. I know because when I was a younger man, many of the student nurses were living at the dorm there on the SGH ground, and I got sneaked in a few times, and fucked a few of them. But i digress. Maybe that changed during your time.
But going back to this apuneh bitch, seems she is an enrol nurse. That is the alternate name for assistant nurse. In singapore, the whole system is quite deceiving versus the rest of the western countries' healthcare system. In singapore, the nurse that you usually encounter is called a staff nurse. He/she is the graduate of a 3 year nursing course at one of the polys or something like that. After graduating, she becomes a staff nurse and is "registered" by the governing body. SO, sometimes, a staff nurse is also called a registered nurse. In the western countries like Australia, UK, Canada, US, NZ, a minimum standard to be called a nurse is a full 4 year degree in Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from a university. many large and good unis in these countries offer a BSN degree. After graduating with a BSN, the graduate must further write a state board exam and pass it. She is then allowed to work in a hospital as a Registered Nurse. As I have said, this is the minimum standard. In these western countries, a singapore nurse 3 year diploma course is maybe considered the equivalent of a licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) which is one level below a RN. In singapore, you can also take a uni course after you graduate from Poly from SIT or some other places, but few do that.
As mentioned, In the western countries, one level below a RN is the LPN. In singapore, one level below a diploma holding staff nurse is an enrol nurse or assistant nurse. It seems this is what this apuneh was. In western countries, the LPN course is at least 18 months to 2 + years, full time, with practicum and the whole works. Usually LPNs in western countries work mostly in retirement homes and non acute facilities. In singapore, an assistant nurse would be equivalent to the level below LPN in the west, i.e. Healthcare Aide. This is the lowest possible position in the medical nursing care field in western countries. Usually, to get a Healthcare aide course, it will take about 6 months. They are the poop cleaners, patient bathers, etc. low guy on the totem pole.
To summarize:
Western Countries : Registered Nurse (BSN holder) = No Equivalent in SIngapore, unless diploma holder staff nurse takes a further course at a uni....maybe.
Western Countries : LPN (Licensed practical nurse, one level below RN) = Staff Nurse/Registered Nurse in Singapore with a diploma
Western Countries: Heatlhcare Aide (One level below LPN) = Enrol Nurse/Assistant nurse in singapore
Western Countries: ???? Janitor? No equivalent = Nursing Aide in SIngapore
P.S. To be nursing aide in singapore a Pinay must have minimum Bachelor of Science in Nursing from a Filipino Uni. Tells u their standard. And tells you how low the standard in singapore is when so many of these pinay fucks are running around.
