CQ Nurse has a commitment to both its’ nurses and the facilities that it contracts to, in providing professional development opportunities to maximize the performance & benchmark the services our nurses provide.  Given the agency specialize in regional, rural and remote locations across Australia; the nurses employed by CQ Nurse already have a high clinical skill set and experience in their specialty area of choice.

The agency has employed a dedicated ‘Education Coordinator / Clinical Nurse Consultant’ to ensure that these skills are maintained and there is support available for professional growth to be expanded on.

When working for, or employing CQ Nurses, you are guaranteed that mandatory training has been/is provided and currency in knowledge & skills is reviewed annually.  Mandatory training offered includes Basic Life Support, Medication Administration, Workplace Health and Safety, Fire and Evacuation, Manual Handling, Infection Control and Occupational Violence Management to name a few.

Once our nurses have achieved this training, we continue to support professional development by career planning with the nurse, sourcing education opportunities to advance skills and further their education in areas relevant to their profession/specialty.  CQ Nurse also provides financial assistance to our nurses to attend external professional development opportunities, through a generous education assistance scheme.

CQ Nurse facilitates an annual Conference for the benefit of not only our nurses, but all allied health professionals interested in furthering their education.  This years’ topic: ‘Physical Assessment Skills’ seminar and ‘Chest X-Ray Interpretation’ workshop is presented by the renowned Critical Care Education Services team.  The aim of these topics is to support nurses working in rural, remote, primary health and critical care environments to expand on & consolidate their clinical assessment skills.  This will not only assist in improving patient outcomes, but will also increase the practitioners’ sense of job satisfaction and confidence in the roles they perform.
