OUR VALUES IN ACTION
• Care and Compassion • Quality and Teamwork • Dignity and Respect • Openness, honesty and responsibility
Here in the Medical Assessment Unit, we have an opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated Staff Nurse to join our multidisciplinary team. We are looking for a Nurse who has UK NMC registration and are committed to providing the highest level of quality and safe care to a wide range of adult patients in a very busy, fast paced and challenging area and ideally suited to a nurse with recent acute medical experience.
We are the first point of entry for medical patients admitted from the emergency department or directly from Borders Urgent Care Centre. You will also work closely with colleagues from specialist teams both within the hospital and in the community to ensure that we provide the right care, at the right time. The department is comprised of 30 beds with an additional 6 surge beds open although this is currently under review.
You will be supported to maintain your professional development through our Clinical and Professional Development department, as well as being mentored and taught by our own Consultants with the aid of insitu simulation training. You will also be a passionate, patient focused and conscientious nurse who works well under pressure. You should be able to problem solve and provide gold star nursing admission documentation to support patient care. Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential to working in this unit along with being able to work independently and flexibly.
You will play a vital role in supporting the Senior Charge Nurse, Charge Nurses and other Registered Band 5 nurses as well as being jointly responsible for overseeing the work of the Health Care Support Workers on the ward.
