If you love complex cases, enjoy learning, and want a nursing role where you can genuinely develop your clinical skills, Internal Medicine might be exactly what you're looking for. This is not your average veterinary nursing position. You'll work alongside specialists, residents and an experienced nursing team, caring for patients with complex and often fascinating medical conditions.
What does an Internal Medicine Nurse do? The better question might be — what don't we do? Our Internal Medicine nurses are involved in everything from managing complex hospital patients and assisting with advanced diagnostic workups to anaesthesia and specialised procedures. Depending on the day, you could be:
- Nursing complex medical inpatients
- Assisting with endoscopy, bronchoscopy and other minimally invasive procedures
- Providing anaesthesia and patient monitoring for procedures under specialist anaesthesia guidance
- Assisting with ultrasound-guided procedures and biopsies
- Caring for oncology and chemotherapy patients
- Preparing patients for CT and MRI
- Placing IV catheters and collecting blood samples
- Running laboratory samples and assisting with diagnostic investigations
- Managing medications, fluid therapy and treatment plans
- Working closely with our specialists and residents throughout a patient's diagnostic journey
- Communicating with other departments to coordinate multidisciplinary cases
You’ll see everything from gastrointestinal and respiratory disease to endocrinology, haematology, oncology, immune-mediated disease and some wonderfully complicated diagnostic mysteries.
What We’re Looking For: We’re looking for someone who is curious, motivated and genuinely loves nursing. Ideally, you’ll have:
- Veterinary nursing experience in a busy clinical environment
- Strong patient care and hospital nursing skills
- Confidence with IV catheter placement, blood collection and medication administration
- An interest in advanced procedures
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- The ability to work well within a busy multidisciplinary team
- A willingness to learn, ask questions and continually develop your skills
Previous referral or specialist experience is highly regarded, but not essential.
Why Internal Medicine at VSOS? This is a role where you can really use your nursing skills — and build new ones. You’ll work alongside experienced Internal Medicine Specialists, residents and a supportive nursing team, with exposure to advanced diagnostics, procedures and some incredibly interesting cases. VSOS is a large multidisciplinary specialist and emergency hospital, which means our Internal Medicine team also works closely with Diagnostic Imaging, Cardiology, Surgery, Neurology and Emergency & Critical Care. There are opportunities to learn every day, whether that’s developing your anaesthesia skills, becoming confident with endoscopy, learning more about CT and MRI, managing complex medical patients or simply understanding the medicine behind what we’re doing. We want nurses who are interested in why, not just what.
This is a full-time position within our Internal Medicine department. You’ll be joining a team that values collaboration, communication, high standards of patient care and — importantly — supporting each other when the day gets busy. If you’re looking for a role where you can challenge yourself, learn from specialists, develop advanced nursing skills and care for some truly fascinating patients, we’d love to hear from you. Come and see where Internal Medicine nursing can take you.
