In 2017, principal enrolled nurse Lee Tian Zhi was doing his rounds in Changi General Hospital (CGH) when he saw a patient in pain and a cold sweat.
The patient was experiencing pain below the ribs in the upper abdomen – an early symptom of a heart attack. Mr Lee quickly ran an electrocardiogram test and alerted the patient’s care team.
His swift thinking and action allowed for prompt diagnosis and medical intervention, saving the patient’s life.
For his excellence and dedication inpatient care, Mr. Lee, 36 – who has been in the profession for 13 years – received the first prize in the Tan Chin Tuan Nursing Award for Enrolled Nurses on Wednesday. This is the second year in a row that CGH has won the top award.
The annual award, now in its 15th edition, is the highest accolade for enrolled nurses in Singapore. Enrolled nurses are those who have completed a two-year nursing course, while registered nurses hold a diploma or degree in nursing.
Enrolled nurses support registered nurses and are responsible for providing bedside care and monitoring a patient’s condition.
