Singapore's nursing services and education need to keep pace with the ever-changing healthcare landscape and international trends in nursing capability development.
To examine the development of Singapore's nursing education and to propose recommendations for its future development.
This discussion paper examined journal articles, books and grey literature that documented the development of nursing education in Singapore.
There are three main challenges and opportunities for nursing education in Singapore: (1) the establishment of registered nurse preparatory education at the baccalaureate level, (2) the expansion of master's programmes for clinical specialization and (3) the need to increase nursing faculties through the growth of doctoral education.
Singapore's nursing education has made a significant progress in its development since the 1990s. To advance nursing education, individual nurses, local nursing associations and academic institutions should be empowered to develop its own clinical, education and research capabilities to meet future healthcare challenges.
Nurses should assume greater roles in determining their own professional and educational developments. Strategies to advance Singapore's nursing education include establishing a national body for regulating continuing nursing education and specialties certification, creating a greater diversity in academic offerings beyond baccalaureate programmes and building local nursing clinical and research capabilities within universities.
新加坡的护理服务和教育需要跟上医疗保健领域的不断变化和国际护理能力发展趋势。
考察新加坡护理教育的发展，并为其未来发展提出建议。
本文讨论了记录新加坡护理教育发展的期刊文章、书籍和灰色文献。
新加坡护理教育有三个主要的挑战和机遇：（1）在学士学位层面建立注册护士预备教育，（2）扩大硕士课程以进行临床专业化，（3）通过博士教育的增长增加护理教师人数。
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，新加坡的护理教育在发展方面取得了重大进展。为了推进护理教育，应赋予个别护士、当地护理协会和学术机构权力，发展自己的临床、教育和研究能力，以应对未来的医疗保健挑战。
护士应在确定自己的专业和教育发展方面发挥更大的作用。推进新加坡护理教育的战略包括建立一个国家机构来监管继续教育和专业认证，在学士学位课程之外提供更多种类的学术课程，并在大学内部建立本地护理临床和研究能力。
