To join the fleet of North American brands owned by Carnival, we are now hiring nurses. The main duties of nurses are to give visitors and crew personalized inpatient, outpatient, and critical care. Being a nurse on board a ship will provide you the chance to see the world while working as a nurse in a unique, stimulating, and interesting maritime setting.
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.
