Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner - Paediatric Emergency Department
* Limerick, Ireland
* Full time, Permanent
Who We Are
Six Health Regions have been established within the HSE, on the basis of the geographical boundaries agreed by the Government in July 2019 and they will be fully operational from 2024. Each Health Region will be tasked with population specific planning, resourcing, and delivery of health and social care services for the needs of its unique population. This will result in improved accountability and governance in terms of finance and performance, while also bringing decision-making closer to the front line.
Description
HSE Mid-West is currently recruiting for the role of Advanced Nurse Practitioner, candidate (cANP) (Paediatric Emergency Department).
Location of the Post: HSE Mid-West – University Hospital Limerick
There are currently 2 permanent / whole-time vacancies available in the Paediatric Emergency Department, University Hospital Limerick.
A panel may be formed as a result of this campaign for Candidate Advanced Nurse Practitioner (cANP) Paediatric Emergency Department from which current and future, permanent and specified purpose vacancies of full or part-time duration may be filled.
Purpose of the Post:
The main purpose of the post is to develop the job description and supporting documentation under the direction of the Health Care Provider’s Advanced Practice Stakeholder Governance Group, to enable the individual nurse to meet the NMBI Criteria for Registration as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner as set out in Advanced Practice (Nursing) Standards and Requirements (NMBI, 2017).
The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies, and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI. The scope of the cANP role must reflect the incremental development of expertise and as such, the cANP cannot deliver care as an autonomous practitioner.
The individual will complete and submit the necessary documentation for registration as an RANP with NMBI. The value of the nursing contribution as a distinct profession must be safeguarded and articulated in the development of new services led by advanced nurse practitioners, complementing rather than replacing current services delivered by doctors (NMBI 2017 p.9).
The overall purpose of the post is to provide safe, timely, evidence-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 and scope of practice in the clinical setting; demonstrating advanced clinical and theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, clinical leadership, and decision-making skills.
The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill, and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem-solving, and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017).
Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment, and processes for patients by the use of evidence-based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness, and evaluate care given.
The role will provide clinical leadership and professional scholarship in order to develop nursing practice and health policy at local, regional, and national levels.
The role will contribute to nursing research to shape and advance nursing practice, education, and health care policy at local, national, and international levels.
Informal Enquiries: Ms. Breda Fallon, Director of Nursing, Paediatrics, UHL.
