Overview of Programme
The Career Conversion Programme for Registered Nurses (Diploma) [CCP-RN (Diploma)] helps and supports mid-career individuals in acquiring relevant training to be Registered Nurses.
The CCP-RN (Diploma) is one of the mid-career conversion programmes under the Healthcare CCP umbrella that is offered by WSG, in conjunction with Ministry of Health (MOH) and supported by MOH Holdings.
Funding will be provided by WSG, MOH and a co-sponsoring organisation for successful candidates to undergo the 2-year Diploma in Nursing (Accelerated) at Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) for the April intake and Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) for the October intake.
Job Description and Remuneration
The general roles of Nurses include assessing patients’ physical and mental health, performing clinical procedures, helping patients improve or maintain their health and educating patients and their families on health matters. They work alongside a team of professionals to provide safe and smooth delivery of patient care every day. Thus, teamwork, communication skills and attention to details are some of the key qualities that a nurse should possess.
In the public healthcare sector, the monthly starting base salary for a fresh Registered Nurse graduate with diploma qualifications is $2,730*. CCP-RN (Diploma) graduates will be able to draw higher starting salaries of up to $3,320, depending on their years of prior work experience.
*Excludes fixed allowances, overtime pay, bonuses and increments for Honours or National Service for eligible males. Please refer to Care to Go Beyond website for more information: https://www.caretogobeyond.sg/nursing/about-nursing
