Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada Government of Northwest Territories Full time
Job Information

As a Registered Nurse, Extended Care and Long Term Care (RN), you will provide nursing care to residents of extended care and long term care houses within Yellowknife Region, in accordance with established standards of nursing practice and the philosophy and objectives of the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority (NTHSSA) to ensure that the residents' physical, emotional, psycho-social, spiritual and daily living needs are met.

You are accountable for the overall nursing care of all residents within the house and you will work on a rotational 12-hour shift schedule. One RN is scheduled to work on each house per shift (in conjunction with an LPN and/or Nursing Aide), therefore you will be required to act within the full scope of an RN and must exercise critical thinking and sound decision-making skills. Limited support from physicians is available. You will be responsible for triaging residents who need to see the physician during their weekly visit and making the decision on whether phoning a physician outside their visit is necessary.

Typically, the above qualifications would be attained by:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Nursing, experience in a Long-Term Care facility would be considered an asset.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide nursing care to residents of extended care and long term care houses
  • Work on a rotational 12-hour shift schedule
  • Act within the full scope of an RN and exercise critical thinking and sound decision-making skills
  • Triage residents who need to see the physician during their weekly visit
