What employers look forFrom the Yacht Nurse guide
Who gets hired: registered nurses with three or more years in emergency, intensive care or pre-hospital work, ideally with a valid licence from the UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand or the US. Owners and captains like calm people who can work alone. On smaller yachts the post is often a dual Steward / Nurse role, where you work in the interior and pick up medical duties as needed. Dedicated nurse posts usually appear on 80m+ yachts.
