PCU 42 provides acute medical care to adult patients with complex and multi-system health needs in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Ideal for nurses who thrive on variety, continuous learning, and qualified growth, this role provides exposure to diverse patient populations, interdisciplinary teams, and care settings. You will build clinical adaptability, expand your organizational knowledge, and contribute to high-quality patient care across the Medicine Program. Based on PCU 42, this position was created to provide additional clinical support across Medicine units in response to patient care and operational needs.

This innovative model offers valuable experience working with a variety of care teams and clinical environments while contributing to safe, patient-centered care. If you enjoy a role where no two days are the same, value flexibility, continuous learning and thrive in a fast-paced environment, join a team investing in innovative approaches to workforce capacity and patient care!
