I just want to be prepared...

Meet Samantha Yap, a fully registered nurse in Singapore who specialises in taking care of old people. Most of you may remember her from the article: 15 myths about nurses in Singapore.

She has been a nurse in Singapore for 7 years now and loves her job because she's very passionate about taking care of the elderly. Through her AMA, she hopes to be able to shed light and give recognition to the good work that nurses do.

Join her live AMA on Wednesday, 31 October 2018 at 4 pm as she answers all the burning questions you have about being a nurse in Singapore.

Ask Samantha about:

  • Why I, or any local would want to be in nursing
  • How is a day in the ward exactly
  • Should you choose nursing
  • How is nursing a geriatric patient like
  • What are the challenges faced when nursing patients with dementia
  • How to deal with difficult patients and family members
  • Do I get physically abused and if I do, what should I do
  • Am I already apathetic to dying or the deceased
  • Are there really ghost in hospitals
  • Cute doctors in Singapore (ok just kidding)

I hope that you've found this guide useful, and perhaps gained more insight into the application process. Most of the admissions-related information (admin and logistics wise) can be found on the official NUS Faculty of Dentistry website.

To help yourself out, you should take note of what people look for when they look for a dentist.
