Clinical training is an integral component of this programme. All prospective learners must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with a vaccine regime recognised in Singapore. Those who are medically-ineligible will be subject to prevailing MOH and healthcare institutions’ guidelines. Those who are medically eligible and choose to remain unvaccinated may not be able to access the healthcare and community care settings to complete their clinical posting and meet the clinical training requirement necessary for graduation. Learners must also comply to all the screening and vaccination requirements applicable to all healthcare students. NYP will endeavour its best effort in securing clinical training placements for learners in appropriate clinical areas accredited by the Singapore Nursing Board. In the event of any changes to prevailing guidelines on clinical training matters, learners’ clinical placement might be delayed.
