Registered Nurse – 10-20k Incentives Offered
Gulgong Multi Purpose Service
About the role
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.

A rewarding workplace that is not always 100% full on for 100% of the time
Working at a less hectic pace where you have time to holistically care for your clients but still have the adrenaline rush from all hands on deck with an emergency presentation – plus no commuting time!

Building strong relationships with patients, families, and colleagues who show gratitude to you every day. You become an integral part of people's lives and make a significant impact on the health of the community.
