Nursing
Nursing care includes the promotion of health, the prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people.
Specialised care
Registered nurses (RNs) complete a three year Bachelor of Nursing through a university to meet the Australian RN standards for practice. They have more responsibilities than a Carer or an Enrolled Nurse, and the type of work they do can include:
Assessing patients
Developing a nursing care plan
Administering medicine
Providing specialised nursing care such as wound care, catheter care
Undertaking regular professional development
Performing leadership roles
At Acquaint we have a Principal Nurse who is responsible for our high standards of professional nursing practice throughout the company. Our nurses come to your home and we can also offer a telephone consultation service. Talk to us about what may work best for you.
