SINGAPORE - Hospitals and clinics here are so desperate for nurses that at least one private hospital group is offering a "finder's fee" of up to $12,000 for staff who can rope in an experienced nurse to join.
Even a fresh graduate nurse joining the hospital can bring the introducer a windfall of at least $3,600 at the group.
The Covid-19 pandemic has worsened the shortage of nurses, as the need for them grows even as more of them quit their jobs.
Last year, for the first time in more than two decades, Singapore experienced a drop in the number of nurses working here.
