Emergency Nurse - Reserve Pool (Tyr)

Introduction about MSF:

Depending on the evolving security and humanitarian context, the Emergency Nurse will primarily focus on two areas of intervention: supporting hospitals and Primary Health Care Centres (PHCCs) affected by a potential conflict, with priority given to nurses specialised in emergency care, and participating in MSF mobile clinics to provide healthcare services to affected communities and displaced populations.

The position therefore requires a high level of flexibility, adaptability and willingness to work in potentially high-risk areas, in accordance with MSF security protocols and operational guidelines.

Main objective of the position:

• Participate in Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) activities, including camps, shelters, PHCC catchment areas and other underserved locations.

• Support the preparation, set-up and closure of the MMU site, ensuring that the nursing area, patient flow, equipment, medicines, registers and infection prevention materials are ready before consultations begin. 

• Rotate between the assigned MMU nursing functions according to operational needs: 

  • Triage and registration: receive patients, record accurate information, conduct the initial nursing assessment, take vital signs and identify patients requiring urgent medical attention.  
  • Dispensing: verify prescriptions, safely dispense medication, provide clear instructions to patients and complete the relevant consumption and patient records.  
  • Vaccination: when trained, authorized and assigned, provide vaccination according to MSF and Ministry of Public Health protocols. 
  • Data entry: Record and submit patient and activity data accurately and on time using the designated data collection and reporting tools. 
• Identify emergency conditions and clinical deterioration, including hypertensive urgency, severe hyperglycaemia, respiratory distress, altered consciousness and other clinical red flags. Immediately inform the medical doctor and support stabilization according to MSF protocol. 
• Ensure infection prevention and control standards in temporary and mobile working environments, including hand hygiene, sharps safety, cleaning of equipment and safe management of accidental exposure. 
• Maintain patient privacy, confidentiality and respectful care, particularly in crowded or open MMU locations. 
• Participate in the management of MMU medicines, medical materials and equipment through the MMU box system. Conduct checks before and after activities, monitor stock and expiry dates and report missing, damaged or malfunctioning items. 
• Complete all required registers, patient cards, vaccination records, consumption sheet, digital Data entry systems and other nursing documentation accurately and on time. Report discrepancies or recurrent documentation problems to the NTS/NAM. 
• Provide health education to patients and caregivers and, when assigned, prepare, facilitate or support training sessions for communities, first responders, healthcare workers or colleagues, using approved training content. 
• Participate actively in briefings and debriefings, scheduled office and training days, clinical coaching, simulations and team meetings. 
• Carry out other nursing duties within the employee’s competence when required due to changing medical needs or emergency response activities.
