The latest cohort of nurses and midwives has started work today in the Far North. More than 40 new registered nurses and midwives gathered at Cairns Hospital this morning for orientation before commencing duties at health facilities across the region. About 60 per cent of the group — the second intake for 2018 — are under 25, with the youngest aged 20 and oldest over 45 years. They will be employed on 12-month contracts, with some working in areas such as intensive care, medical and surgical wards, or at rural hospitals such as Babinda and Mossman. The nurses and midwives will be supported by staff included clinical facilitators, nurse educators, and nurse preceptors, to assist them in workshops, clinical days, reflective journaling and debriefing sessions.
