This 12‑month educational employment opportunity is designed for you! We are seeking curious, engaged and enthusiastic RNs who are ready to grow through a training program.

This initiative offers a unique pathway into emergency nursing for acute care RNs who have not worked in the ED. Over one year, you will be immersed in a comprehensive educational and clinical development program designed to build confidence and essential ED nursing skills in a protected, collaborative environment with ongoing mentorship.

This program provides a 1.0 FTE educational position for up to 12 months, with all course costs, materials and benefits covered. It offers valuable experience in a high‑volume rural ED hospital department, supported by a multidisciplinary team committed to your growth.

If you enjoy thinking on your feet, managing multiple priorities and supporting patients during urgent and often life‑changing moments, you will find purpose and fulfillment in this role.
