Though every Victorian-based nursing agency has adapted differently to address the needs of our community throughout this pandemic, VNS Nursing Agency is proud to offer unique opportunities. Registered nurses, enrolled nurses, personal care assistants (PCA) and Midwives are given the chance to sink their teeth into parts of the healthcare sector, normally out of reach. This article highlights these particular options and explains what’s involved, so you can weigh up what’s right for you and your family.
Hospital Shifts
Although there are an abundant amount of COVID-related work opportunities, hospitals are desperately searching for staff to fill their vacancies. Positions are available within not only COVID and suspected COVID wards, but also within other areas of the hospital such as orthopedics, general medicine and trauma. It has been a challenging time for nurses so, whatever help you can provide to the hospital system during this time is very much appreciated.
VNS nursing agency also offers interesting and well-paying work opportunities to theater and instrument technicians across Melbourne. If you hold these advanced skills, please get in contact with VNS to find a position that will best suit you and your individual circumstance.
COVID Testing
Throughout this pandemic, the testing technology and capabilities have significantly advanced. With the introduction of Rapid Antigen testing, screening for COVID has been made even quicker, making the process more efficient and effective. Through undertaking this role, you are making a significant difference to the health and safety of the entire community. Multiple shifts are available at different facilities around Melbourne, so contact VNS Nursing Agency or review the updated job board if you’re wanting to get involved.
Telehealth
Are you searching for a nursing role that doesn’t require you to walk upwards of 10,000 steps per day? Picking up shifts as a telehealth clinician is a perfect way to give your legs and feet a rest, whilst positively impacting the health and safety of the vulnerable outside of the hospital walls.
VNS works in collaboration with various medical centers around Melbourne and Geelong to ensure exposed and sensitive members of the public are listened to, screened appropriately and linked in with the right services. The best part is, VNS offers paid training and will provide a laptop to complete your work.
Immunisation
Help support the vaccination drive of the Victorian Department of Health by joining the COVID immunisation workforce through the VNS Nursing Agency. There is a range of shifts available at different facilities around Melbourne. If you would like to refresh your skills and become qualified to formally give the COVID vaccine, the Victorian Government is offering free training to health professionals. This is to ensure the vaccine is administered as it should be, reducing the margin for error. If you are interested to learn more, click this link.
