Registered Nurse {ONA CS-26-290}

Department: Alternate Health Facility – Cartier Site

Initial competition is now closed.
We are continuing to accept applications until a candidate is selected.

The Alternate Health Facility (AHF) is a 40-bed off-site unit designed for patients who no longer require acute care but need transitional support before moving to rehabilitation, long-term care, retirement living, or other post-acute settings. An interprofessional team—including physicians, nurses, personal support workers, and staff from dietary, environmental services, and Infection Prevention and Control—provides comprehensive care. Fully equipped for acute medicine patients, the AHF delivers the same high standard of care as the NBRHC main site.
