About Singapore Nurses Association

Founded in July 1957, Singapore Nurses Association’s main objective is to work towards recognizing and enhancing the professional contributions of Nurses.

The vision of two British nurses, Miss B. M. Griffin and Miss Edna George to promote the advancement of nursing as a profession resulted in the foundation of the Singapore Trained Nurses’ Association (STNA) in July 1957.

The Association was admitted as a member of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in July 1959. In 2018 the President of the Republic of Singapore became its Patron. The Association has won the United Nations Association of Singapore Gold Citation Award for the most outstanding civic-minded organization in 1993 and the Silver Citation Award in 1995.

Challenges

What were those?

The Association has grown from a membership base of 100 to nearly 5000 members and from humble beginnings to an impactful contribution.

The growth brought challenges such as

1. The paper-based process to manage the association won’t help the growth
2. Need for operational efficiency for the association
3. Lack of insights and engagements for association’s members
4. Custom software not evolving with the pace of association’s needs

• Exporting database from legacy software to Explara
• Setting up rule engine for payment-invoice-receipt and membership workflow
• Setting up event registration and management software
• Setting up team members accounts, permissions, and training
• Enabling self-served platform for associations member to use
