*ABOUT THE ROLE*
Nursing in the Alfred ICU is one which is both incredibly rewarding and challenging. With state of the art facilities and equipment, the patients we care for are the most acute in any Australian ICU.
Due to the size and complexity of our unit, our ICU has six clinical pods which each support separate patient cohorts according to their clinical needs. This setup of specialised pods within the one unit is unique to ICUs in Australia, and allows you to not only specialise in one area, but also nourish your interests across a range of different specialities. Nurses within the unit are able to work across all six pods, and as you become more specialised in areas of your interest, you will be able to designate the pods in which you would like to complete most of your shifts.
