Hi it’s Patrik Hutzel from INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME where we provide tailor made solutions for long-term ventilated Adults & Children with Tracheostomies and where we also provide tailor made solutions for hospitals and Intensive Care Units whilst providing quality services for long-term ventilated patients and medically complex patients at home.
In last week’s blog, I talked about,
You can check out last week’s blog by clicking on the link below this video:
Today’s blog is for ICU nurses and Pediatric ICU nurses, because here at Intensive Care at Home, we are hiring you.
INTENSIVE CARE AT HOME IS HIRING ICU/PICU NURSES IN MELBOURNE METROPOLITAN, SOUTH GIPPSLAND, COUNTRY VICTORIA, BRISBANE, WOLLONGONG, NEW SOUTH WALES.
In today’s blog post, I want to focus on ICU nurses and pediatric ICU nurses that want to work for us because we have vacancies across the border for many of our clients predominantly in the Melbourne Metropolitan area, but also in South Gippsland and Country Victoria, but also in Brisbane and also in Wollongong New South Wales.
If you are an intensive care nurse with a minimum of 2 years ICU experience or a pediatric intensive care nurse with a minimum of 2 years ICU experience, and ideally with a post graduate critical care qualification, we would be very interested in your application.
And, more importantly, if you are interested in taking your ICU nursing skills out of a busy ICU into a home care environment, and you think that is an environment that you’d be interested in and that you think you can make a difference, then you’ve come to the right place. We are basically sending intensive care nurses and pediatric intensive care nurses into the home to continue intensive care treatment at home for predominantly ventilated adults and children with tracheostomy.
And if that’s of interest for you to use your ICU nursing skills in that environment, then you’ve come to the right place. Get out of a busy ICU, where at the moment with COVID, you don’t even have a one to one nurse to patient ratio guaranteed. Well, we guarantee a one to one nurse to patient ratio. Most of the time, you also have a support worker there that will help you with your tasks. So the environment is actually much better supported than in ICU, where at the moment you don’t even have one to one nurse to patient ratio.
And if you like variety to work with, different clients in different locations, or if you just want to work closer to home, we have all options available for you. Our clients are quite diverse but what they all have in common is that they do need an intensive care nurse at home predominantly 24 hours a day. Again, our range of services range from ventilation, tracheostomy, but also we have some medically complex patients at home that are not even ventilated, but still need an intensive care nurse, 24 hours a day because otherwise they would be in intensive care and because of the risk of going back to intensive care.
Other services we provide for example, is home TPN. And so patients go home a Hickman’s line or a PICC line or a central line and have TPN at home instead of a hospital. So we really make a big difference to our clients and their family’s lives by staying at home predictably, despite their condition.
Now, if you are interested in working for us, you’ll be joining a very, dynamic nursing team, but also a very dynamic admin team that is constantly on the go to make the lives for our clients and their families, a better environment. And that’s what it’s all about. We want to help our clients live their lives, where they want to be and where they should be. They should not be in intensive care. They should be at home whenever possible. And that is what we are providing here at Intensive Care at Home.
Now we have real career growth opportunities. For example, we are also looking for a clinical liaison nurse at the moment. We are looking for a nurse manager at the moment. So, we are having career growth opportunities as well. And again, you’d be in very good hands here. We’ve all made the transition from intensive care to a home care environment.
If you’re wondering, what is it like to work at home instead of ICU? Well, give me a call on the number that I will put below, and then you can call me and we can have a chat and I can tell you more about what the transition from ICU to a home care environment looks like, whether on a client level, but also on a nurse level, because making that transition from ICU to Intensive Care at Home is, you know, there are some challenges that you need to go through as well, but we are here to help you one step at the time and work through that with the supportive team that we have here.
So thank you so much for watching this video and thank you so much for coming on to this video.
I should also say we offer full-time positions, part-time positions, and we also offer casual positions. So we have a variety of options available. We have day to day shifts, night shifts, afternoon shifts, just similar to a hospital environment.
And I look forward to hearing from you.
Now, if you want to send your CV, email it to [email protected], or you can also email it to me directly, that is [email protected]. That is Patrik, just with a K at the end, [email protected] or you can call me on 041 0942230.
