Career
tracks
NHG Nursing caters to the different
aspirations of nurses by offering six career tracks to develop and progress
along specialised fields of excellence.
The Education Track provides
professional development and advancement opportunities for nurses who can
inspire and equip nurses to learn and develop their capabilities continuously. Nurses
who pursue this track are also instrumental in developing and implementing
education and training programmes, via different modes, and in a timely manner to
keep nurses updated with the latest evidence-based practices.
The Management Track provides
opportunities for nurses to lead fellow nurses to achieve care outcomes
systematically and effectively. Nurses who pursue this track would be entrusted
with the professional and personal development of their team as well as
creating constructive working environments for them to reach greater heights.
The Clinical Track provides
opportunities for nurses who are passionate in providing direct care to
patients and their families, as well as deepening their knowledge in specific discipline
of nursing. With better experience and knowledge acquired over time, nurses who
pursue this track will be a strong role model in leading their team to deliver
holistic care to promote health and recovery.
The Research Track provides
opportunities for nurses to build their foundation as a nurse scientist to advance
nursing practice and improve patient outcomes. This is routinely done through discovering
new knowledge, validating the professional practice of nursing, and/or ensuring
that evidence is effectively translated to regular practice through a rigorous
approach.
The Informatics Track provides
opportunities for nurses to bridge the nursing practice with digital data which
has become an integral part of today’s healthcare. Nurses who pursue the
Informatics track work at the intersection of nursing science, computer
science, information management and analytical sciences to improve patient
outcomes and safety. Capitalising on their foundation of clinical knowledge,
they identify areas of improvement in clinical workflows and create new
approaches to achieve care outcomes
The Innovation Track provides
opportunities for nurses to leverage established methodologies in care
redesign, adoption of appropriate technology and role redesign to fundamentally
improve the workflow. Nurses who pursue the Innovation track can look forward
to co-developing and testing of innovative solutions in simulated and real
environments to address longstanding challenges in clinical practice and work
productivity.
Moving
between tracks
There
will be flexibility for lateral movements across the different tracks, where
available. Nurses can choose to move across the different career tracks at
different milestones of their career, as long as they meet the requirements of
the specific role.
