Good day! I’m a Filipino nurse and I would like to ask if it’s still possible to apply for nursing jobs in Singapore with a BMI of 46. I have a pear-shaped body and a flat stomach, but I’m naturally big-boned and plus-sized.

Some agencies I’ve checked require a BMI of only 23–27, so I’m worried if this will affect my chances of getting hired. Do you know any Filipino nurses who were considered obese or plus-sized but were still able to work in Singapore?

Also, can anyone recommend reputable agencies that are open to hiring plus-sized nurses? Thank you so much!

Hi!

I just want to ask for clarification. I currently have existing loans with GSIS and Landbank, but I’m planning to work in KSA as a nurse specialist next year. If I leave my government hospital position, can I continue paying my dues over the counter? I’m really hoping to pursue opportunities abroad and not stay in the Philippines.
