Isolation Nursing

Published

Greetings all!

I just wanted to ask if anyone has been an isolation nurse. Particularly a nurse who works in the Northern areas for 1 month or up to 6 months and receives isolation pay for working in an isolated area. I've been thinking on it more and more, but I've never met another nurse who has worked like that. I see advertisements on it all the time, and my teachers always spoke of it, but they had never worked as one.

I've been debating working in Northern Alberta for a month (more and more frequently after seeing advertisements), but I don't plan on applying until the winter season (currently working a mat. leave contract at the moment). Thoughts, suggestions, ideas? Thank you for your time!:)

Specializes in geriatrics, IV, Nurse management.

Thank you everyone for the resources:) Sorry for the term "isolation" and confusion with infection control lol. It was just a term I heard in school to refer to "isolated" nurses. I'm waiting on a bit more experience before I go, but I like a challenge:)
