Job Posting
Position:
NCAS Standardized Patient - Multiple Positions Available
Term:
Contract, Casual (3-4 days per month)
Compensation:
$25 per hour
Start Date:
July 2023
Note:
The majority of NCAS assessments take place on weekdays and occasional weekends
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Nursing Community Assessment Service (or "NCAS"), through its Assessment Centre in Burnaby and Vancouver, administers the NCAS Assessment for four healthcare professions.
The NCAS Assessment is a comprehensive, multifaceted competency assessment that evaluates strengths and gaps in entry-level competencies, helps determine readiness to practice, and provides direction for remediation.
The NCAS Standardized Patient (or "SP") interacts directly with NCAS Assessment Takers by role-playing as an individual requiring nursing care.
The interaction may involve limited physical examination* as well as discussion of the patient's history, medical conditions, and treatment plan (based on a scenario-specific script).
*Physical examination may entail exposure of bare skin (NOT including the genital area) for assessment.
For realism and consistency of the scenario, the SP must fit specific characteristics of the patient being portrayed - including (but not limited to) age and appearance.
NCAS is an essential service, with strict COVID-19 Health and Safety protocols in place. We are continuing to operate throughout the pandemic, delivering competency assessments in a simulation centre. Our work actively supports the healthcare labour force but does not involve clinical patients.
WHO WE ARE
The Nursing Community Assessment Service is a program within the BC College of Nurses and Midwives.
BCCNM is the largest nursing regulatory College in western Canada and is empowered under the Health Professions Act to regulate the practice of all licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, nurse practitioners and midwives in BC.
BCCNM launched NCAS in January 2017 as a service for assessing the competencies of nurses and health care aides seeking licensure in BC.
Our high-stakes assessment is designed to provide a consistent, rigorous and defensible approach to determining the extent to which potential registrants possess the competencies required to enter practice safely.
BCCNM is committed to treating all applicants and employees with dignity and respect in a workplace free from all forms of discriminatory treatment, behaviour or practice.
We strongly encourage submissions from all qualified individuals, including folks who have been systemically excluded from the health sector, not limited to but including Black, Indigenous and racialized people, people living with disabilities, and two-spirit, queer, trans and non-binary persons.
