Hello Friends!
So the launch of the Covid-19 vaccine is underway and numerous vaccination exercises have been carried out by organisations and institutions.

Hello again everyone,
So it has been weeks into the new year and new resolutions have also been made, making it a fitting time to talk about PROMOTION. There are numerous theories, logic and speculations when it comes to promotion or even getting a good grade for your appraisal.
But is it really true?
In this episode, Mr Yum and myself discussed and try to come up with our own logic in regards to promotion. We also have some pointers that mayyyy prove useful. (we hope)
We hope you can take some time to have a listen and let us know if you have faced anything similar or have your own theory on what we discussed ?
Drop us a DM, write in the comments, we are MORE than happy to hear from you guys and we would also like to welcome any NCs/Reporting officers to our channel to discuss various age old mysteries on this topic.

Happy 2021 everyone!
For our first episode of the new year, we will be touching on a more sensitive and long standing topic. Hijab and Nursing. It has been raised and discussed several times on why muslim nurses in Singapore should/should not be allowed to wear their hijab during their course of duty.
Along with the topic of hijab, we deviated slightly to touch on other similar issues like, nurses having visible tattoos. Is our society ready to accept them? Does having tattoos determine the dedication and quality of work of a nurse?
In this episode, we will discuss all that. At the end of the day, it is merely a discussion, not a proposal to our nation.
In the meantime,
Stay safe everyone!

We truly apologise for the glitches and less than satisfactory audio quality in some parts of the episode. Rest assured we are striving for better quality while trying not to blow a hole in our nursing pockets. Burnout is not uncommon in the healthcare industry however it is something not really spoken or discussed widely about. Work burnout may be detrimental to a nurse’s well being which in return affect the nurse’s ability to function at work which also in return may prove as a safety concern for patients. So join us as we discuss further on the topic and explore how we can mitigate the situation. Also, if you do have any questions that you want to ask/share or any topics that you would like us to discuss, just drop us a message! In the meantime, stay safe !
