HEAR IT FROM OUR TEAM
Dave – Past Acute Pool Employee
"Hi, I’m Dave, an ICU CCRN and an After Hours Manager. I’ve been very fortunate in my career to be on Acute Pool which has allowed me to be exposed to various units within Bendigo Health. I first completed an EN Grad year, worked several years on casual bank then completed my RN. After my RN grad year I commenced on Acute Pool and through this was exposed to ICU and ED, after completing my CCRN I returned to pool and spent several years working across the hospital. I loved my time on pool for the flexibility and the exposure to places that I hadn’t thought of working before”
Current Residential Aged Care Pool Employee
"I have worked on Residential Pool for over 12 years and I find the flexibility of self-rostering advantageous. It is great being able to move around the four residential sites as each day is different which provides a unique working week. Residential Pool allows you to utilise different skills over various areas and work within a diverse team of health professionals providing excellent care, every time."
If you're passionate about nursing, thrive on variety and want to make a meaningful contribution across our services, we'd love to hear from you!
