About the Hospital:

In 1979, Thomson Medical Centre, now known as Thomson Medical Pte. Ltd, commenced operations, becoming a healthcare service provider known for our focus in the areas of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Paediatrics.

The birth of the flagship hospital, Thomson Medical Centre (TMC), centred on one man’s vision, renowned O&G specialist and Founder, Dr Cheng Wei Chen’s aim to “make delivery an enjoyable experience for women”.

Carving out a unique identity of providing quality services with a personalized touch in a friendly and cosy ambience, TMC has taken women on the amazing journey of motherhood and embraced the birth of thousands of babies.

With an excellent pool of dedicated doctors and nurses, we have the expertise to care for and support mothers through the joyous yet complex months of pregnancy and childbirth and continue to encourage them by guiding them on how to care for their babies after childbirth.

Throughout the years, Thomson Medical remains committed to developing lasting partnerships with our patients and their families by delivering quality care and service through our Thomson Touch.

Scholarship Financial Awards:
Scholars Each Freeman Scholar will receive a scholarship to cover the cost of tuition and student fees (called “full tuition scholarship”) regardless of his or her family’s financial situation.  Although costs are not yet established for 2010-2011, in the 2009-2010 school year tuition and fees total $40,392. Families wishing to apply for financial aid to assist with the costs associated with room, board, travel, and books and supplies should submit The Profile TM Form of the College Scholarship Service (CSS) by February 15.  Wesleyan’s Financial Aid Office will determine the family contribution.

A score close to 600 on the paper-based TOEFL or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL, or a 100 on the internet-based test or a “7” on the IELTS, would be evidence of adequate English language ability.

In such cases, submitting the TOEFL or IELTS results is not necessary.) These examinations must be taken by January 1.

Nursing is such a noble job. We admire people who have a calling to be a nurse.  They make a difference to people’s lives.  All we have to do is observe how nurses love helping people and how they don’t fear hard work.

To qualify as a nurse, a person has to get at least a nursing diploma and then has to become registered in their country.  There are also what we call trainee nurses and they are closely supervised in the early stages of their employment.

Nursing jobs cover a wide scope. A nurse can care for the aged and do you know that retirees require three times the healthcare services?

Nurses are also needed to care for children, or the disabled. Other nurses care for those suffering from mental health problems whilst other nurses work as operating theatre assistants.

Some nurses become midwives and yet others are in palliative care.

Thus nurses are in short supply all over the world, including Singapore.

So we’d like to invite all nurses out there to come and work in Singapore and all nurses who are already working in Singapore to stay on, take up a BSc Degree in Nursing (Honours) course and get promoted to management levels.

A qualified Registered Nurse can go into any three broad areas; Management, Clinical and Education.

In addition, the Registered Nurse can move upwards to be a Director, Advanced Practice Nurse or Principal Nurse Educator.

If you are a foreign trained nurse with at least 2 years of intensive experience in a government hospital or 3 years of working experience in a private hospital and dream of working in Singapore and even to UK later on, we encourage you to send your Cover letter, Curriculum Vitae, and certifications to jobs[at]nursesnotes[dot]org

Please be advised that only qualified applications with complete documents will be entertained.

Sincerely,

Nurses Notes Team
