Your Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the Edmonton Virtual Home Hospital (EVHH) team using innovative health care for complex problem solving.

The Virtual Home

Hospital is a virtual inpatient unit operating on site at College Plaza where complex medical and surgical patients receive hospital-level care in their home, replacing days spent in acute care. Care is overseen by physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacy, and community paramedics. The EVHH provides an avenue for patients who are functionally stable but require a hospital-level medical or surgical intervention that would otherwise require inpatient admission.

As a key member of the EVHH team, the Registered Nurse (RN) works collaboratively with the interdisciplinary team and other partners to provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and care planning for patients with a variety of complex acute medical conditions and surgical needs. In addition, the RN may be required to visit multiple sites within the Edmonton and surrounding area to provide case finding support to our referring partners. All duties and responsibilities of the RN will follow the guidelines developed by the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta.

Description

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 secure, quality patient and family centered care while reflecting the shared vision and values of AHS.
