Registered Nurse

Your Opportunity:

The Rockyview General Hospital Day Surgery - 24 Hour Unit is a 36 bed Unit that provides pre and post-surgical care to patients in both our Outpatient Day Surgery Program as well as our In-Patient 24-Hour Unit. Our patient population includes our specialized surgical services programs in Urology and Ophthalmology as well as a wide range of elective and urgent General Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Plastics and Gynecology. We provide pre and post procedural care for a select Interventional Radiology patient population. We are seeking RNs that possess strong organizational skills and the ability to rapidly reprioritize patient care activities. The same-day surgical nurse must efficiently balance the demand of early morning discharges alongside competing patient care requirements for incoming pre-op patient admission & returning post-operative patient transfer from Recovery Room. We are looking for an RN that has been identified by peers or leadership as quick to consistently provide positive and energetic support to the team particularly during time periods of increased workload. The ideal candidate should exhibit evidence of an ability to self-identify strengths and areas for continued growth along with a commitment to those activities which promote professional development. We seek team members that possess the ability to accept change and show initiative around quality improvement initiatives.
