Licensed Practical Nurse Ponoka Canada – Immigration Support Possible

Visa type confirmed: Immigration Support Possible

Your Opportunity

Ponoka Hospital and Care Centre has an opportunity for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our team. As an LPN at our rural hospital, you will work in a variety of areas: this includes a 10 bed ER, a 19-bed acute care unit, a 10 bed Goal (Goal oriented active living) unit, and our busy labor and delivery area.

As an LPN working at our facility, you will be a vital part of our collaborative health care team. Previous experience will be valuable in transitioning to the Rural Nurse role; however, you will be provided with mentorship and education opportunities to increase competence and confidence in the rural nurse role. You will be expected to provide safe and competent care to our patients in a collaborative, family-centered care approach.

As a member of our team, you will be flexible in what area of the hospital you work in as priorities will change rapidly between each unit. Our town serves a large First Nations community and is located along Highway 2 in the Battle River Valley within an hour’s drive to major cities. Our community provides a great opportunity for families, adventurists, and people wanting a rural life.
