  • Maintain accurate documentation of patient care activities and observations to ensure continuity of care.
  • Participate in team meetings and quality improvement initiatives to enhance patient care practices.
  • Support the orientation and training of new staff members, sharing knowledge and best practices.

Qualifications

Candidates must possess a diploma from an accredited Practical Nursing program and hold current registration with the relevant nursing regulatory body. A recognized Dialysis Program certification and a minimum of one year of recent experience in acute care settings are preferred. Basic cardiac life support certification is also required.

Skills and Competencies

  • Strong knowledge of CPR and hemodialysis procedures.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
  • Proficient in prioritizing tasks and managing time efficiently.
  • Capable of operating specialized medical equipment and teaching patients about their care.

Commitment to Safety
