    THE Ministry of Health (MOH) has clarified that the swab operations jobs that pay S$3,400 to S$3,800 a month are short-term contract roles with no progression pathway. These positions also do not include any additional allowances or bonuses.

    This is in contrast to the average gross monthly salary for entry-level registered nurses, which ranges from S$3,300 to S$5,200 depending on their qualifications and after factoring in allowances and bonuses.
