Varied and no one day is the same
Child Health Nurse (Former Employee) - Nhulunbuy, NT - 29 January 2016
The day can vary based on if you are about to work in the remote community. If that is the case time spent getting resources ready, contacting communities, writing reports, attending meetings.
May attend the hospital as one of your clients might be in hospital to check on them and see how they are progressing.
