community nurse jobs with Pulse

A community nurse, as mentioned above, provides a wide range of care to people in their community, like at their home or a nearby clinic. However, those in district nurse jobs are registered nurse who specialises in providing care to patients in their home and they typically work with patients who are recovering from long term illness or injury.

In summary, a district nurse specialises more in in providing care to patients in their home, rather than the community as a whole.

A community nurse provides nursing care to patients outside of a hospital, for example in their home, clinics, and care homes. This includes assessment, treatment, monitoring and support. Community nurses often attend to patients who have trouble reaching a hospital, for instance if they are elderly or disabled.

The starting salary for a community nurse job is around £27,000 with the average salary being in the region of £40,000. However, like all job salaries, this can vary depending on a number of factors, including, location, experience and the type of organisation you work for.
