Abstract:
Introduction: Nursing professionalism and nursing identity are important for retention of nurses. Despite of much attention on nurses in Singapore, there is still a shortage of nurses. This study aims to understand the perceptions of the progression and future of the nursing profession in Singapore. Methodology: A descriptive qualitative study design was used. The participants were 20 nurse educators, clinical nurses, and student nurses. Data were collected through focus group and online interviews and analyzed thematically. Results: Nurses felt a need to bridge the theory-practice gap and various factors to the underlying cause of the shortage of nurses were highlighted. Nurses shared their desires to see greater autonomy among nurses and a greater focus on community nursing in the future. Discussion: Collaboration between nurse academics and clinical nurses may bridge the theory-practice gap. To reduce the issue of the shortage of nurses, efforts to promote nursing professionalism are required.
