Registered Nurse

The University of Alberta Hospital (UAH) Critical Care Program consists of General Systems Intensive Care Unit (GSICU) and the Edmonton Firefighters’ Burn Treatment Unit. As part of the Clinical Resource Team (CRT) you will support both General Systems ICU and the Edmonton Firefighters' Burn Treatment Unit. The GSICU is a Level 1 Trauma Centre ICU and provincial transplant center for northern and central Alberta, northern BC, Saskatchewan, and northern Territories. As a Registered Nurse who is part of the interdisciplinary care team, you will provide evidence-based care to patients with critical illness or trauma, often with multisystem involvement. You will care for patients requiring continuous and intermittent renal replacement for acute and chronic failure. The successful candidate will provide patient and family-centered care to patients undergoing liver transplant as well as kidney/pancreas transplants. GSICU nurses are member of the Code Team and Medical Emergency Team (MET) for the Walter C. McKenzie campus at the UAH. The GSICU team also provides support for the Special Isolation Unit (SIU), caring for patients with complex isolation needs such as Ebola. The Burn Unit is one of two American Burn Association verified burn centres in Canada with a catchment area of central and northern Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, and the northern Territories. As a Registered Nurse working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary Burn Team, you provide evidence-based care to patients with extensive burns and complex wounds requiring intensive care and management. Pediatric patients with burns not requiring artificial airway management are also cared for within this unit. Medical-surgical patients requiring ventilator and inotrope support may also be cared for within the Burn Unit.

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. PLEASE NOTE: Provisional Permit holders will be paid $40.76 to $55.79 per hour.
