RAC (Residential Aged Care) Nurses often encounter challenges such as managing complex care needs, handling high workloads, and navigating emotional situations with residents and their families. To prepare, it's essential to develop strong communication and organizational skills, stay current with best practices in geriatric care, and build resilience through self-care strategies. Team collaboration is also crucial, as RAC Nurses frequently work closely with allied health professionals, care assistants, and management to ensure comprehensive and compassionate care for residents.

Job description

Are you looking for something a little different in a healthcare career? A position that only requires patient assessment as the only direct care and Monday through Friday schedule? If so, then you might be the perfect fit for a MDS Coordinator (RN) position within the organization.

  • Possible Resident Assessment Coordinator Certification (RAC-CT) through AANAC
