Please note the hospital reserves the right to close the competition early should a substantial number of applications be received. Overview of Post: The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) sets out the criteria for registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017).
Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioners (RANPs) provide expert nursing skills and interventions which transcend traditional nursing roles and responsibilities.
RANPs have significant experience, knowledge, and have received training to be able to competently deliver care and skills which serve as an adjunct to, instead of a replacement of, the work of medical colleagues.
The Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (CANP/RANP) is also an advanced nursing role where the successful post holder will undertake academic preparation (over an agreed timeframe in line with hospital procedures) and develop clinical and leadership skills, competencies, and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner (RANP) with NMBI.
Appointment as a CANP or RANP will be contingent on the candidate's prior experience and completion of required qualifications.
The scope of the CANP/RANP role reflects the incremental development of expertise and as such, the CANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner.
The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidenced based nurse-led care to patients at an advanced nursing level.
This involves undertaking and documenting a complete episode of patient care (assess, diagnose, plan, treat and discharge patients) according to collaboratively agreed protocols, working within a scope of practice and demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge.
Critical thinking, clinical leadership, and decision making skills are added skills within this role.
The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at a local, regional and national level.
The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education and health care policy at local, national and international levels.
