Registered Nurse - ED Development Rotation Program

What you'll be doing

The Emergency Department Registered Nurse Development Program has been established to facilitate the development of Registered Nurses in the emergency nursing specialty. Participants complete the one-year development program and will then be allocated a permanent fulltime position in a SWSLHD Emergency Department.

The program provides an opportunity for participants to gain experience in two Emergency Departments across SWSLHD supported by a coordinated education program.

The Registered Nurse will provide safe, compassionate, quality, person centred care and work in collaboration with patients / families / carers and a multidisciplinary team to achieve identified goals and outcomes.

South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD) is focused on achieving our Vision of Leading Care, healthier communities.

All staff are expected to act as an appropriate and effective role model, promoting a culture that supports practices that reflect the NSW Health CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment through demonstrated behaviors and interactions with patients, clients and employees.

The vision of SWSLHD Nursing and Midwifery Service is Compassionate Nursing and Midwifery Care Always, through leading effective workplace cultures that improve the patient experience.
