Clinical Nursing 2019


Nursing practice is supported by values that guide the way in which nursing care is provided. The following standards should underpin nursing practice and provide the basis for the formulation of a philosophy of nursing:


  • In making choices about their individual scope of practice; nurses should keep to the fore the rights, needs and overall advantage to the patient and the importance of promoting and maintaining the highest standards of quality in the health facilities.
  • Nurses respect all individuals likewise without discriminating on the age, gender, race, civilization, religion, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, disability (physical, mental or intellectual), or association of the Traveler community.
  • Essential to nursing practice is the therapeutic association between the nurse and the patient that is based on open communication, trust, understanding, compassion, and kindness and serves to empower the patient to make life choices.
  • Nursing practice includes advocacy for the rights of the individual patient and for their family. It also involves support on behalf of nursing practice in organizational and management structures within nursing.
  • Nurses identify their role in delegating care appropriately and providing supervision to junior colleagues and other health care workers, where required.
  • Nursing care combines art and science.

Session 3: Emergency Nursing

Clinical Nursing 2020 | Singapore ER nurses work as part of a team with doctors, other nurses and healthcare specialists to offer care, monitor health situations, plan long-term care needs, administer medicine, use medical equipment, perform minor medical operations, and advise patients and their families on illness, care and continued care. Emergency nursing brings all a nurse’s training and experience to bear in caring for patients on days many describe as the worst day of their lives. These patients never “planned” to visit the emergency department (ED) on their way to work or to pick up their children, or on a day they’d deliberate for fun and friends. Whether emergency nurses are dealing with disturbances or infectious disease, psychiatric illnesses or chronic situations, injuries or acute life-threatening conditions, they care for all who present themselves. To be an emergency nurse, you need to have not just exceptional skills but a high level of patience and unders...

Clinical Nursing 2019 | Singapore A midwife is a well-trained health professional who helps healthy women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives may deliver babies at birthing centers or at home, but most can also deliver babies at a hospital. Women who choose midwives usually want very little medical intervention and have had no complications during their pregnancy. Because giving birth to twins is more difficult than giving birth to a single baby, many doctors don't recommend using a midwife unless under the direct supervision of a doctor. Midwifery encompasses the care of women during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period, as well as care of the newborn. It includes measures aimed at preventing health problems in pregnancy, the detection of abnormal conditions, the procurement of medical assistance when necessary, and the execution of emergency measures in the absence of medical help.
