Nurse

We are hiring nurses to join Carnival's fleet of North American brands, including Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruise Lines, Holland America Lines, Seabourn and P&O Australia.

Nurses primarily provide individualized outpatient, inpatient, and intensive care to guests and crew. They act as first responders, triaging emergency calls, assessing and treating on-scene, and transferring patients to the shipboard medical center for definitive care. Through specific patient group directives, nurses can practice autonomously under the authority of doctors, assessing patients and providing treatment and advice for particular conditions. In addition to first response duties, they work closely with the other medical practitioners caring for patients and attending daily walk-in clinics.

Nurses also perform various technical and non-clinical administrative tasks that support the medical center's efficient and safe operation under the Senior Nurse's direction and supervision. Additional duties include equipment checks, medication and clinical consumables inventory management, participation in drills, audits, inspections, and training of other crew members. Technical skills are learned and practiced on board, such as X-rays acquisition and performing a wide array of laboratory tests and other procedures.

All medical staff provides a high level of customer service, maintaining a professional, dignified, friendly, assertive, and polite manner at all times towards guests and fellow crewmembers and demonstrating performance consistent with the Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan of the organization.

Successful candidates will be assigned to work four-month contracts onboard our fleet of cruise ships operating worldwide, with two-month intermissions.
