Registered Nurse – Extended Day Surgery Unit (EDSU)
Orange Health Service
About the role
Join us at Orange Hospital, the major referral centre for Western NSW, where you’ll be part of the Extended Day Surgical Unit (EDSU). It’s not often we have vacancies — however we have recently extended the EDSU to open on weekends and we need to expand the team. This is your chance!
The EDSU is a unique ward, featuring:
- Short stay – high turnover of patients
- Medium to low acuity, with predictable post-operative courses and standardised care
- Good nurse to patient ratios
- Well supported working environment
- 12 hour or 8 hour shift patterns
We are seeking year 2+ Registered Nurses with surgical experience, who are ambitious to upskill to clinical nurse specialist positions, supporting the ward in the development of the extended service.
You will be part of a great small team with a supportive culture to which other teams aspire, led by a passionate and enthusiastic Nurse Manager who is very consultative in his leadership approach.
