Aged care nursing

Enjoy variety and opportunity as a Nurse or Clinical Manager with Enliven

Rewarding. Challenging. Fun. Clinically diverse. These are some of the words Enliven nurses use to describe what they do.

Aged care nursing, or ‘Care of the Older Adult’ is a nursing specialty that provides a broad range of clinical and leadership opportunities. It’s not the sterile hospital setting that many people think of when they think about nursing. Our nurses say – “It’s better!”

 

This clinically diverse specialty includes:

  • Truly holistic care – mind, body, spirit/culture and whānau
  • Management of complex and chronic conditions
  • Emergency and acute episode assessment and support planning
  • Infection control
  • Simple and complex wound management
  • Palliative care
  • Rehabilitation
  • Direction and delegation
