We are looking for a Registered Nurse to join us in providing care for the elderly in our aged care facility in Toronto NSW.
Aged Care is an area of nursing that is diverse and involves:mental health, orthopedics, palliative care, neurology, wound management, respiratory, cardiac, urology, gastroenterology, pharmacology, rheumatology, emergency, diabetes and stoma care. You will also regularly be involved in allied health areas such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, dietetics, social work, and counselling.
Aged Care offers varied and extensive experience and opportunities. While it may not seem as exciting as acute care or as appealing as midwifery, there is very little that you won't do in aged care that you would do in a hospital. The difference is that we have more input into decision-making regarding the treatments our residents receive, and we see the outcomes of those decisions through to the end. You will work closely with doctors to determine the best treatment for our residents.
We make it our mission to create a sense of community for our staff, residents, and families, inviting all to participate in making this the best part of our residents' lives.
Working with us, you will be recognized as an individual rather than just an employee number. You will have the opportunity to advocate for the residents in your care directly to those who can make decisions. This is your opportunity to make your mark and make a difference.
