National University Hospital Employee Reviews

I learnt all of my Podiatry skills at NUH. The team is a small but very friendly team. Everyone helps each other to complete the daily tasks. It is a good place to gain plenty of clinical experience, especially in wound care and nail surgery.

Pros

Broad Scope of practice, amazing Podiatry team

Cons

Unable to cope with volume of patients, management not allowing for more headcount

A good environment to work in

Intern (Former Employee) - Kent Ridge - March 18, 2019

As a student intern with the Nutrition & Dietetics Department, I learned a lot from the dietitians at NUH. Though my peer and I had to see many patients in a day due to high workload, I was able to challenge myself and ask many questions during the internship. The workplace culture was friendly and open. My peer and I were able to apply what we had learned in theory into practice during our placement at NUH. I will love to have the opportunity to work in the hospital again!

Fun workplace

Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) - bouna vista - December 20, 2018

An environment where you learn how is the hospital bill like staying different ward class. Hardest part of the job is seeing those very old people without family and struggling to pay bills for themselves.

Intense and effective

pharmacist assistant (Former Employee) - Singapore - October 16, 2018

Working in NUH you have to be extremely dedicated and hard working. The job required to be on your feet the hole day.It was hard to communicate with other pharmacists and i felt my knowledge was not being used. As a pharmacy graduate it gave me an inside to how it would be to work as a pharmacist. A very different work culture from Europe where i am most used to work in.

Pros

intelligent staff, effective management

Cons

stressful environment

worst job as service

Patient Service Associate (Administrative) (Former Employee) - Kent Ridge - April 14, 2018

worst job for a diploma graduate. management doesn't care at all and you have to report even when you are going to the toilet. it's not worth it. there are way better jobs with more respect out there.

Stressful environment

Fast-pace environment. At times, can be relax when there is low volume of patients. But when there is high volume of patients, we need to work extremely efficient and effectively.
