ommunity nurse may start with greeting a diabetic patient and administering their insulin, followed by supporting patients at the end of their life to ensure gold standard care is delivered. You may then visit a few patients to dress a leg ulcer or post op wound, followed by changing a catheter to flushing a patients central line. You may be called out to an urgent care response visit where a patient needs to be seen and assessed within 2 hours. Following a list of visits you will have team handover, this gives you the opportunity to discuss complex situations with your colleagues and undertake clinical supervision. No day is the same within the community and each day is as rewarding as the next, whether youve healed a leg ulcer or given a patient the best possible care at the end of their life. One thing we promise you is that community nursing is never boring!
You will also have the opportunity for professional development and progression. You should have excellent clinical, written and verbal communication skills. We would love for you to join us in this transformational community care journey.
