Do I need a PC to practise in Singapore? How do I apply for it?
Nurses and midwives who are registered/enrolled with SNB and are in active practice will need a valid PC in order to practise nursing or midwifery in Singapore.
As such, upon registration/enrolment, you must apply for a PC (with a prescribed fee) before you can commence your practice in Singapore.
It is an offence to practise nursing or midwifery without a valid PC. Therefore, the onus is on you to ensure that you have a valid PC if you are practising nursing or midwifery.
You will need to apply for a PC by submitting an online application through the SNB Professional Registration System (PRS).
