Thanks
she won't make the type of money she's used to.Balnald wrote:My wife is a registered nurse/ midwife as above with a nursing degree from uk... Any idea what a nurse/ midwife earns? She is unsure if she wants to work...
To be in Private Practice, she needs to get full endorsed, and know mandarin, as most private clinics need mandarin speakers ..taxico wrote:.Balnald wrote:My wife is a registered nurse/ midwife as above with a nursing degree from uk...

Well, my reply to SMS applies to you as wellJayCee wrote:He does seem to know a lot about maids and nurses doesn't he?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Sounds like you've been shagging the foreign talent regularly.
Ecu, are you one of those Indo guys that can be seen on the prowl outside Orchard towers on a sunday afternoon?
I've never been in there on a sunday in Singapore so I have no experience of what goes on here (heard plenty of stories though, and seen the crowds a few times when going past on the bus), but what you just explained brings back a lot of memories of when I lived in HK...ecureilx wrote:Well, my reply to SMS applies to you as wellJayCee wrote:He does seem to know a lot about maids and nurses doesn't he?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Sounds like you've been shagging the foreign talent regularly.

And no sir, Sunday till 10 PM atleast, Orchard, from Orchard Parade Hotel to Paragon is a no-go Zone for me .. in the interest of preserving my sanity and not getting into the habit of the afternoon drinks followed by a snooze till late .. as I used to do a few years ago when I was living near Orchard ..
PS: I used to work in Bars on Sundays, part timing .. the crowd gets really rowdy that the $ and the free drinks post-shift becomes worthless .. most Sundays, it is abnormal if nobody get into fights .. (though the girl/girl fights are fun, sometimes .. like two girls fighting because one posted the other's private photos on facebook or something .. or one girl calling another as dirty because she shagged her ex-bf .. or so .. )
there're private hospitals, and then there are private hospitals.ecureilx wrote:Govt Hospitals, and private hospitals, have pegged nurses salary around 2,000 plus, and shifts (7 AM to 4 PM, 2 PM to 11 PM, 9 PM to 8 Am) .. or so ..
I know a lot of nurses from SGH, KK, TTSH, and Alexandra, Mount E etc .. and the pay scales are almost near each other .. not far off ..
Ahh... c'mon mate, there is nothing to be shy off. We are all men. We have needs. Some need more than others that is all.ecureilx wrote:hmmm .. what a twisted mind you have Chiefsundaymorningstaple wrote:Sounds like you've been shagging the foreign talent regularly.![]()
.... how about me meeting them while doing 'service' to the society ??

I mean, I bump into them in my various volunteer work .. and I swear, I never 'shagged' any of 'em .......................................... yet
And anyway, being a small / close knit community, messing with them will be like stirring up a hornet's nest, as the news of their informal network spreads extremely fast .. faster than Fibre Optics.. or light-speed ...
Yes, private clinics do pay, but the process to get in and ensure the Nursing board can allow endorsement ... and hence the majority of Filipino / Myanmar / Indian nurses still stuck with the hospitals .. with not much scope for them to move out .. And Nursing Board prefers they are that way .. and some of the nurses I know, in SGH, have been taking up courses to keep themselves uptodate, but their pay stays stuck ..Taxico wrote: ...
Well, if you take a trip to Tower, on Sunday, about 4 PM, and if you don't imbibe in too much liquor, then the going ons can be really funny, hilarious and outright worth the cover charge you pay in the bars .. no kidding .. and then all the antics outside the bars also just add to the fun going ons ..JayCee wrote: ...

the nurses afore-mentioned by me come from a developed east asian country who commands a high salary back home. it is unlikely they moved to singapore to take up a lower-paid position.ecureilx wrote:...some of the nurses I know, in SGH, have been taking up courses to keep themselves uptodate, but their pay stays stuck...
...so do the majority of the doctors who are slaved to the Govt Hospitals (with SMC being very loath to allow them full approval.. )
