What You Will Do

Summary

Help deliver care that meets people where they are and supports where they want to go.
Crosstown Clinic is now accepting applications for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to join their harm reduction-driven team. A leading substance use treatment program in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Crosstown is the first clinic in North America to provide prescription diacetylmorphine through Injectable Opioid Agonist Therapy (iOAT). Here, LPNs provide specialized,



relationship-centred care to people with substance dependence, helping clients find greater stability while supporting their goals along the continuum of substance use and connecting them with the community, primary care, mental health and social services they need. Crosstown is supported by an on-site pharmacy and an interdisciplinary care team composed of physicians, nurses, social workers, and other care professionals.

Your duties will include:

Provide specialized harm reduction nursing care: Deliver safe, respectful care to clients with substance dependence, monitor their health and wellbeing, administer medications according to established protocols, and respond to clinical incidents and changing needs.

Support individualized care and continuity: Participate in assessments, care planning and evaluation, contribute to individualized interventions, and help connect clients with community, primary care, mental health and other supports as their needs evolve.

Build relationships through education and advocacy: Identify client learning needs, provide health education and resources, and advocate for clients’ dignity, rights, autonomy and access to care.

Collaborate as part of a specialized team: Work closely with nurses, physicians, social workers and other care professionals,



contribute to care conferences and team planning, support orientation of new staff and students, and contribute to a secure, effective clinical environment.

Minimum Nurse-to-Patient Ratio

Minimum Nurse-to-Patient Ratios (mNPR) set the minimum number of nurses required to safely care for patients on a given unit. Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the BC Nurses' Union (BCNU), and health organizations across British Columbia, mNPR provides a consistent and transparent approach to staffing that supports safe nursing practice and high-quality patient care. At Providence Health Care (PHC), our approach to implementing mNPR reflects our commitment to person-centred, socially just, compassionate care and our dedication to Indigenous cultural safety. Guided by our mission and values - Spirituality, Integrity, Stewardship, Trust, Excellence, and Respect - PHC is working collaboratively across all departments to ensure mNPR is thoughtfully adapted to the unique needs of each clinical program and specialty area. This tailored, values-driven implementation aligns with our commitment to compassionate, innovative, and patient-centred care and positions PHC to meet the evolving health needs of our patients, residents, families, and communities.
