SINGAPORE - Initially, Dr Loh Huey Peng, the nursing director at the Singapore National Eye Centre, did not like her job as a nurse.It took her about a decade to finally love what she started out doing.
The other two recipients are Dr Hoi Shu Yin, Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s chief nurse, and Ms Pauline Tan Chwee Khim, the deputy director of nursing at the National Kidney Foundation . She said she discovered that she was good in communications and empathising with others, and started to find meaning in her work. “That’s when I started to give,” she said of her profession.
One of the things she did was to hold huddles with the nurses to understand their concerns, even if their needs did not reflect those of the majority, she said.“Previously, I was more rigid,” the mother of two children admitted. At TTSH, chief nurse Dr Hoi, who is 45, and married with three children, collected various other awards, including a Public Administration Medal in 2022 for her contribution to Singapore’s fight against Covid.
