General Practice Registered Nurse
Visa sponsorship
Healthcare · Newcastle, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Newcastle is the base for a full-time permanent General Practice Registered Nurse position. A practice in the area wants a nurse who can handle everything from triage to infusions and from wound care to childhood immunisations. General practice experience is preferable, although on-the-job training will be provided to the right candidate.
For that person, the practice says Temporary Residence or Permanent Residence sponsorship is available, so international nurses with the right registration are welcome to look closely at this one.
Ugandan nurses in Kampala or Entebbe can lead the CV with registration, immunisation and wound care experience. Use Build AI CV to tidy up your practice nursing CV before applying.
