Registered Nurse - Critical Care Transport

About the role

Critical Care Transport is a highly specialized team responsible for safely transporting critically ill or injured patients between healthcare facilities while providing advanced critical care throughout the transport. Rather than caring for multiple patients on a hospital unit, you'll focus your attention on one critically ill patient at a time, ensuring they remain stable while receiving the interventions they need during transport.

Why Nurses Choose This Role

• Every transport is different, requiring strong assessment skills, sound clinical judgment, and the ability to make decisions quickly in changing situations.
•  Leadership is highly engaged and promotes a positive, collaborative environment where every team member is supported
• Get to practice advanced critical care skills and they value autonomy in their daily role.
• Rather than caring for multiple patients on a hospital unit, you'll focus your attention on one critically ill patient at a time, ensuring they remain stable while receiving the interventions they need during transport.
