NURSING STAFF RECRUITMENT
Wellington ICU employs approximately 118 Staff Nurses working 12-hour shifts to provide around-the-clock care to the patients in our unit. The nursing ratio for Intensive Care patients is 1:1 and 1:2 for High Dependency patients.
Availability of jobs is variable. Expressions of interest or applications can be made by two means:
- By direct application to the Charge Nurse Manager
- By applying to join the Critical Care Rotation (see below)
Wellington ICU has links with both Massey University & Whitireia, offering placement to undergraduate student nurses from both institutions.
More information on postgraduate study at Victoria University can be found here.
We also have close links to the graduate school of nursing at Victoria University with the school physically located on-site within Wellington Hospital and several members of ICU staff teaching on courses.
Critical Care Rotation
The Critical Care Rotation currently consists of 3 nursing placements, each of 8 months duration run over a total of 2 years.
Any members of nursing staff within Capital & Coast District Health Board are able to apply; external applicants have also been successful previously.
Applicants are taken from nurses completing the NETP (Nursing Entry to Practice) programme or those who are in their first 2-3 years post-graduation who have a passion and skill in areas of acute care nursing.
Placements are allocated to 3 of the following areas: ICU, Coronary Care/Cardiothoracics, Emergency Department, or Neurosurgery.
Two post-graduate papers (through Victoria University) are expected to be completed during the total two year rotation.
Six ICU nursing positions are appointed from the rotation over a two years period.
