Registered Nurse - Post-Anaesthetic Care Unit & Day Surgery

at  Alberta Health Services

Your Opportunity:
Are you looking for your next adventure? Consider northern Alberta’s best kept secret – Grande Prairie. Surrounded by rolling fields of farmland, boreal forest to the north and access to the Canadian Rockies to the south, each day can lead to something new. We are looking for experienced Day Surgery/PACU Registered Nurses who thrive in environments where each day is something different and your skillsets are constantly evolving. With a new regional hospital, we are excited to be expanding services within urology, orthopedics, ENT, general surgery, and gynecology, with the addition of ophthalmology and oncoplastics to support Grande Prairie Cancer Centre. A close-knit community with big city amenities, it’s no wonder those who move to Grande Prairie choose to stay! In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Remote Retention Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $3,000. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay.
