Mo te tunga - About the role
The Moana clinic provides health services to the Moana and on occasion Haupiri communities, which amounts to less than 100 permanent residents. However, Moana is a popular holiday destination, and the town is often busy with visiting tourists. The geographical distance that the Moana Rural Nurse Specialist (RNS) covers is the largest of all the RNS teams on the West Coast, covering to Arthurs Pass and Still Water. Working as an RNS at the Moana Clinic, you will be the first 'port of call' in many cases for both the residents and tourists travelling through the area. You will provide clinic-based services during the day – mainly primary care, district nursing and 'on-call' services as per a roster.
The service provides a nurse-led clinic, with General Practitioner and Nurse Practitioner support. You will have patients across the life span and will be actively developing skills as new situations arise. This is a position for a senior RN who has a minimum of 5 years clinical experience, preferably with community and practice nursing and who has a good sense of autonomy and self-direction. Post graduate study is essential especially around adult and paediatric health assessment, and pharmacology. You will be supported to complete further post graduate study if required.
As an RNS you will use your assessment skills and experience to provide primary and emergency care, with the support from the wider team, a system of standing Orders, and PRIME training.
