MWS Nurse Manager Honoured with Nurses’ Merit Award

Our heartiest congratulations to Nurse Manager Nuraini Bte Idris from MWS Nursing Home – Yew Tee for bagging the prestigious Nurses’ Merit Award 2024. The award, given by the Ministry of Health, recognises exceptional nurses who have contributed to raising the nursing profession. 

With 23 years of nursing experience, Nuraini has come a long way. “I first joined nursing because of my late grandmother. She had a stroke and passed away due to a fall. I was involved in caring for her, and this sparked a desire in me to care for others professionally,” shared Nuraini. 

As a nurse manager today, Nuraini is involved in managing fellow nurses, overseeing day-to-day operations in her ward, caring for residents, and engaging with the residents’ next-of-kin (NOK). She especially treasures the bonds she forms with her staff, residents, and NOKs, who have come to see her as family. 

On winning the award, Nuraini expressed her gratitude and hopes to do even better for her team and residents. “To all aspiring nurses and fellow nurses, nursing is a lifelong journey that requires a lot of patience. May we all never give up in giving care to those who need it.”
