SNB Not Registered? Here’s How to Find Nursing Work in Singapore

If you’re not registered with the Singapore Nursing Board (SNB), you cannot work as a licensed nurse in Singapore. However, there are alternative ways to work in healthcare while pursuing SNB registration. Consider applying for roles such as Healthcare Assistant, Patient Care Assistant, or Medical Support Staff in hospitals, nursing homes, and community care centers. These positions involve basic patient care and support duties and don’t require SNB registration. Many employers offer conditional job offers, helping foreign nurses start in these roles while their SNB application is processed. Additionally, enrolling in bridging courses or local nursing programs can help meet SNB requirements. Networking with healthcare agencies and joining job portals specialized in healthcare can increase your chances. These steps allow you to gain local experience and move toward full nursing licensure in Singapore.
