About Bank Nurse Jobs
Bank nurse jobs are careers for qualified registered nurses (RGN) that are registered with the NMC (Nursing & Midwifery Council).
A bank nurse is called by this name for the reason that he or she is part of a group or “bank” of nurses that are readily available to substitute for other nurses, during holidays or just to help meet the needs for nurse shortages at hospitals, clinics, nursing and rehabilitation facilities.
Bank nurses are qualified individuals who are readily available to work any shifts and must be on call at any time. In many cases, bank nurse jobs are through agencies that offer competitive wages.
Bank nurse jobs seek experienced nurses who work under the guidance of clinical nurse specialists. The role of the bank nurse includes—
- Proficiency in professional and clinical nursing skills
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent judgment/decision making skills
- A friendly and caring personality
- Working effectively with other health care professionals and with care teams
- Using proper health and safety measures with patients, staff members, and visitors
- Propriety, privacy and respect of patients
- Keeping accurate patient and administrative records
- Knowledge of current nursing issues
- Computer skills
- Good palliative care skills
- Knowledge of long term health conditions
