Queensland Public Health. I'm struggling with key selection responses

World Australia

Published

Hi everyone, it's been such a long time since I've changed jobs that I've never had to go through the formal application process before. I've always just been given a job based on my qualifiications. The last 26 years I've been nursing in hospitals in the wards (I was hospital trained), the last 13years I've worked in the private sector in a surgical ward.

I am trying to respond to key selection criteria, (for a casual pool at public hospital) and I understand I need to give examples to show I achieve the points listed but I have gone utterly mindblank. It's like asking what my favourite movie is and all of a sudden I cant remember a single one!

I really do not know the best way to respond that will get me to an interview.

I would love some ideas here if anyone is able to help :) I'm not sure how to make the answers specific.

1. demonstrated knowledge of contemporary nursing practice within an inpatient unit and the ability to apply sound professional judgement to appropriately manage patient-centred care requirements.

2. demonstrated ability to communicate professionally and effectively across the health continuum supporting positive organizational behaviours and relationships.

3. Demonstrated self-management and self-organizational skills, including problem solving skills and professional engagement in change management to achieve organizational goals.

4. Demonstrated beginning to comprehensive knowledge of information management tools including demonstrated ability to use patient and staff information systems appropriate to the position (is this explaining the computer programs I use at work?)

5. Maintains a professional development profile and facilitates an environment that encourages life long learning, mentoring and support for colleagues

6. Commitment to quality and safety processes , and evidence-informed practices.

Thankyou in advance :)
