Enrolled Nurse and Registered Nurse
The Maitland Hospital

About the EN Role:
As an Enrolled Nurse (EN), you will maintain timely and effective communication with the Registered Nurse (RN), ensuring seamless coordination of care.

About the RN Role:
As a Registered Nurse (RN), you will be responsible for designing and implementing personalised nursing care plans that cater to the unique needs of each patient. This involves conducting comprehensive assessments, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and tailoring interventions based on the patient’s medical condition, preferences, and individual goals. Your role is crucial in ensuring that care is patient-centred, adaptive to changing health statuses and aimed at promoting recovery, comfort, and overall well-being.
