Being a fresh graduate, your chances are quite slim for engineering positions in Singapore. Nevertheless, you can try applying thru local agencies or job portals in Singapore. If you are able to stand out from the crowd, an employer might hire you and get you a legal permit to work in Singapore.

nothing wrong with locals coming first

fresh graduate does not mean a guarantee job in singapore context; there r many singaporean fresh graduate also looking for jobs; so it will be harder 4 u 2 compete with them; generally, singapore employers r looking 4 experience in all kinds of jobs so what i would suggest u is to work in ur country 4 some years b4 applying for job here; from my experience even jobs like car wash, dishwashing also need experience; i went 4 these jobs interviews n the interviewers said they preferred with experience;
4 :
if every graduate did actually stick to his own place and land you wouldn't need to go to Singapore in the first place. since qualified people like yourself run like rats off sinking ship sure nothing will ever change for better in your country. plus people like you will put extra strain on already troubled job market in Singapore that as previous comments suggest is already under great pressure and not every local (Singaporean) graduate is able to get job placement (you might get a lower pay but you will take a job that should belong to a LOCAL guy or girl) you should respect Singaporeans for allowing your wife to work there but it seem that you are willing to take off the whole hand when you already got a finger.

As for the USA, I don't think so. I knew this lady who got her nurses degree in Germany...then married a US soldier, so he brought her over to the US with him. She couldn't work as a nurse with her German degree because the US has certain licensing laws. She had to go back and get her GED (degree equivalent to a high school education in the US) so she could get accepted into a US college, then start over from scratch on getting her US nursing degree...I am not sure on CA and Aust.

Hello, If you are a registered nurse in Singapore, you can apply for a job in US, provided you meet the min. requirements, i.e. the NCLEX and IELTS exams. These are a must and a nurse can only get a job in US with these exams. Of course, you can also go there with CGFNS + IELTS exams, but you can work with CGFNS only as a LPN and the salaries for LPNs are very low. I can provide you with the applications and study materials for both these exams. Please let me know if you are interested. Regards. Bens globalbens@yahoo.com

If your not a citizen (US) you need a visa ect. You can get one to go to school, for certification while you work. You can apply then for citizenship (US).

Why must i do a IELTS test to register with WA nursing Board, as a Singaporean with Nursing Degree from Monash

Why must i do a IELTS test to register with WA nursing Board, as a Singaporean with Nursing Degree from Monash
I have done my Midwifery (18 months) in UK and a Registered Nurse in Singapore for many years. Is the Degree from Monash done as distance learning not equvilant to their campus study as claimed by them?? Have worked and studied in England and holding a degree from Australia Monash why do I need to do a IELTS test. Are we being discriminated as Singaporean Chinese or am I cheated of my degree? Please give me some sensible answers. Help!

Because that is what they "require." quit whining about it. Don't use "discrimination" as an excuse. Take the test just like everyone else has to do.

G'day, I understand it must be hard for you to be given such 'silly' conditions. You are from Singapore, and has done courses in English for quite sometime and yet still asked for IELTS test. I do not pretend to know the whole story here, but my guess is b'cos the board is afraid that generally applicants from Asia countries do not have a good English communication skill. It is not that the distance learning degree from Monash is deemed less qualified. Your qualifications are fine (I guess), it is just the English that they worry. Unfortunately I have to agree with the first answerer (altho not the way the person wrote it). It is best to give them their what they ask. If your English is good (which I truly believe it is), then you got no reason to worry. Please do not take it that it is discrimination, since I am sure they ask the same thing to Singaporean Indians as well. Good luck and welcome to Australia.

Some of the best nurses I have had were Singaporean. As an Australian who has lived and worked in 12 different countries I found the Australian 'Hospital trained' nurse good but not the more recent 'University trained' nurses. Singaporean nurses were excellent. Hong Kong nurses were also excellent. Thai nurses were fair. Lao, Cambodian, Malaysian and Indonesian were all poor quality.
2 :
There are no two opinions about it but if the nurses have the necessary academic qualifications they deserve to be styled as professionals.
