You can engage in ongoing career development and learning opportunities, have access to an extensive range of clinical support on site, and be part of a professional team environment.
You will be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of South Australia and hold a current practising certificate, along with a Master’s degree in Emergency Nursing or an equivalent area of practice. Authorised as a Nurse Practitioner with AHPRA, you will demonstrated an advanced level of nursing practice in the care and management of patients presenting to the Emergency Department. Self-motivated and resourceful, you will have the ability to identify problems and develop and implement strategies for resolution.
