10 enrolled nurses win accolades for their dedication at annual awards

20 Nov 2020, The Straits Times, B2

In 2002, Ms Fatimah Taha Suhaimi, then an enrolled nurse, cared for a 21-year-old patient who suffered from trauma after a traffic accident. After the patient was discharged, Ms Fatimah stayed in touch with her and advised her over the phone when she complained of giddiness at home. It was for such instances of meticulous care that the 52-year-old, now a principal enrolled nurse at Changi General Hospital, received first prize at the Tan Chin Tuan Nursing Award for Enrolled Nurses yesterday. The late Mr Tan Chin Tuan was one of Singapore’s pioneer bankers and chairman of OCBC Bank from 1966 to 1983.
