Nurse Practitioners are a senior type of practice nurse, who assist on all levels of patient care, usually within a GP surgery – they are able to diagnose and (often) prescribe treatment.
Their role is also educational – they must educate their patients about the importance of prevention rather than cure, and how to effectively carry out their prescribed treatments.
On top of this, Nurse Practitioners often carry our physical examinations, patient consultations, as well as leading the Nursing team within a given practice. They are a GPs first point of call in many cases for assistance, and can help to ease the workload on GPs and Registrars at extremely busy times.
The ward sister is the first level supervisor and team leader of the unit. She is directly accountable to the Nursing Superintendent through Deputy Nursing Superintendent for ward management and patient care.
A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) is a venerable one-person show with five major responsibilities on their shoulders: Clinical practice, research, teaching, consulting, and management. Health care doesn’t operate with one set of guidelines, so a clinical nurse specialist job description is vital to the managed care movement. Because they’re also a patient advocate, it’s their job to coordinate money-saving services and resources but still provide optimal health outcomes.
Lead nurses, sometimes called charge nurses, coordinate nursing care for a specific unit or department within a medical facility. They have limited direct contact with patients, instead focusing on supervising employees, acting as a link between nursing staff and hospital management, and responding to questions or complaints from patients or family members. Some departments hire a single nurse to serve as lead, while others hire a lead nurse for each shift.

A director of nursing should have once been a hard-working and compassionate registered nurse who steadily developed their managerial and administrative skills. Being efficient, dedicated, a good listener and a problem-solver is what will open our door for you.
The goal is to foster an excellent environment that will support everyone in working to the benefit of hospital and patients alike.
