About The Position

6W Care Team Members provide care for burn patients. At times, these patients need to go to the hydrotherapy room in the SBICU. The SBICU nurses do not provide the hydrotherapy treatment. The 6W nurse has to stay with the patient, provide hydrotherapy care, and return to the unit to recover the patient as a 1:1. Many dressing changes on the unit can take up to 2-3 hours. The dressing changes take a lot of time, as the nurses have to work at the patient's pace with concern for pain. Dressing changes may need to be performed more than once per day (ex: face dressings are three times per day) Entity Medical University Hospital Authority (MUHA) Worker Type Employee Worker Sub-Type Regular Cost Center CC000733 CHS - Trauma Burn 5 (Main) Pay Rate Type Hourly Pay Grade Health-27 Scheduled Weekly Hours 36 Work Shift Job Description Hours Per Week: 36 Scheduled Work Hours/Shift: 3-12 hour shifts.
