About the role

We are seeking highly motivated Registered Nurses to join our team. The position includes rotating shift work and the ability to work at the top of scope of practice.

Nyngan will support applicants to progress through the Rural Emergency Pathway to lead the clinical team. Nyngan offers a supporting team with a commitment to supporting the applicant through orientation and with ongoing learning and development opportunities.

Rural nurses work across settings in emergency, acute care, aged care, chronic disease, child health, primary care, mental health, dialysis, palliative, and health promotion. Nurse work in small teams or on their own, supported 24/7 by a world leading virtual care model utilising state of the art telehealth technology.

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 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.
