Registered and Enrolled Nurses – Experience the Australian outback!
Nightingale Nursing in Australia has a comprehensive database of rural and regional hospital clients in a variety of locations, ranging from small coastal resorts and medium sized country towns to the most remote rural outback settlements imaginable.
Registered and Enrolled Nurses are always in demand for rural opportunities, with contract duration ranging from just 2 weeks (last-minute emergency coverage) to 3 months (plus).
The small hospitals usually require ED experience (as you never know what condition is going to present at the front door!) whereas the larger regional ones may utilise your specialist or general nursing skills in the ward of your choice (vacancies usually exist in surgical/medical, paediatrics, aged care, orthopaedics, mental health, intensive care and midwifery).
Accommodation is generally provided and varies from purpose built, air-conditioned nurses’ quarters to guest rooms at the end of the ward. This is usually free of charge during your contract, although some very remote hospitals charge a nominal daily fee for meals and access to the kitchen (as there are no shops or food outlets within easy travelling distance!)
Return transport from the closest major city is provided by Nightingale Nursing, or, if you choose to make your own arrangements, a percentage (if not all) the cost is reimbursed.
We have a dedicated nurse consultant responsible for coordinating rural placements and providing full support throughout. You can join Nightingale remotely (no need to come into the office if difficult due to the location of your residence) although various screening and checks do obviously apply.
Because hospitals in “the bush” rely so heavily on travelling nurses, you will always find the people friendly and hospitable and will, without doubt, have the nursing experience of a lifetime.
