Give your adult-focused nursing skills a new perspective - Regular Full Time and Part Time Opportunities Caring for BC Children & Their Families • BC Children’s Hospital

 

If you are feeling stagnant but thrive in a critical care setting, then consider joining the Critical Care Program at BC Children’s Hospital where we treat more than 1,200 children annually in an environment of hope. Through a family-centered approach, we care for newborn to 17 year-old children with life threatening disease, injuries or following surgery. Our culture is open, welcoming, and committed to engaging nurses in advanced clinical learning and practice opportunities. Positive outcomes are the goal, and you will also support the mentoring and education of the next generation of nurses through preceptorship and new graduate learning.

 

You have completed a certified nursing program, have current registration, or eligibility, with the College of Registered Nurses of BC, and bring previous nursing experience, ideally gained in a critical care setting. Even if your nursing career has been focused within adult populations, we can train and support your transition into this pediatric specialty. Job shadowing and tours of the PICU are available on request.
