What you'll be doing
Key priorities of an experienced paediatric nurse at NBH include closely monitoring and responding to children’s clinical needs whilst coordinating care with the multidisciplinary team. The RN will prioritise supporting and supervising junior staff, ensuring care is developmentally appropriate, and communicating effectively with families. Maintaining accurate documentation, upholding infection control and safety standards, and contributing to efficient patient flow (admissions and discharges) are also essential responsibilities. The Registered Nurse acts as a role model by demonstrating behaviour and interacting with patients, their families and employees in a way that promotes a culture and standards that reflect the NSW Health CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment.
