Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced Registered Nurse with the ability to work between Emergency, Acute Ward and Residential Aged Care units. You will have Triage experience and qualifications in this would be preferred.
Our rural based multipurpose sites are small hospitals and some also contain aged care. Rural nurses work across settings in emergency, acute care, aged care, chronic disease, child health, primary care, mental health, dialysis, palliative, and health promotion.
At Gulgong you will work in a small team of Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses and Assistant’s in Nursing, being supported 24/7 by a world leading virtual care model utilising state of the art telehealth technology. You will be able to work on a 24/7 rotating roster.
Rural nursing is nurse-led care, so nurses are a key part of the decision-making process for client care and have more influence on healthcare delivery.
Rural nurses are called on to respond to a broader range of emergency and health needs, hence are encouraged and supported to develop skills to work the top of their scope of practice, experiencing far greater autonomy than in larger hospitals.
Rural nursing is extremely rewarding as you build personal relationships with patients and are responsible for holistic care, taking care from start to finish - patients do not get swept away to a specialist ward as occurs in a referral hospital.
By directly influencing care across the lifespan and health continuum of their community rural nurses are respected and valued members of their hometowns.
