Description:
Your Opportunity: Being a rural emergency Registered Nurse is experiencing a whole different way of nursing - and way of life. Alberta Health Services (AHS) has an exciting opportunity for an RN to work to their full scope of practice, with patients of all ages. On any given day, you could be assessing patients who have injured themselves working with farm equipment, battling a lingering illness, or have had a too-close encounter with local wildlife.
The Town of McLennan, Alberta, describes itself as “Small, but with a lot of heart.” Joining the healthcare team here means becoming a part of a community, and providing essential healthcare services not only to residents of McLennan, but several outlying communities as well. See patients across the continuum of care, with a wide range of health conditions and concerns. Without the glare of bright city lights, you can get closer to nature, take a front-row seat for dazzling Northern Lights displays, and indulge in all your favorite outdoor activities, be it hiking, biking, horseback riding, or zipping along on ATVs or snowmobiles. Resting on the shores of Kimiwan Lake, or “Rain Lake,” in Cree, McLennan is a mere 25 minutes from Winagami lake. Fishing, paddle sports, and boating beckon - even living on the prairies!
AHS is a Canadian Top 100 employer, Alberta Top 75 employer, and a Top Employer for Young People and Diversity. Imagine a supportive employer, a career that fits your lifestyle, and plentiful opportunities for professional development in your field.
In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Remote Retention Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $3,000. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.
Description: As a Registered Nurse (RN), you will provide a wide variety of nursing services to patients, families, communities and populations, while taking necessary steps to ensure their safety and well-being. In your role, you will utilize nursing processes, through critical thinking, problem solving and decision making, as well as teach, counsel and advocate on behalf of patients and their families. You will play a leadership role in supporting an integrated and holistic approach to patient care, health promotion and maintenance. You will provide safe, quality patient and family centered care while reflecting the shared vision and values of AHS.
Required Qualifications: Completion of an accredited nursing education program. Active or eligible for registration and practice permit with the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA). Current Basic Cardiac Life Support - Health Care Provider (BCLS-HCP). Preferred Qualifications: Two years of hospital registered nurse experience preferred. ACLS preferred.
