Job Description

Your Opportunity:
Working within a multidisciplinary team, the RN plays a key role in support of an integrated holistic approach to the patient's health care, health promotion and health maintenance. Nursing in a rural community will grow your skills and challenge your ability to balance varying levels of patient acuity and prioritize tasks. You will be responsible for the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of safe quality care following the policies and guidelines of AHS.

You will display critical thinking and problem-solving skills in providing direct patient and family centered care to patients across the life span with a professional and positive attitude and excellent communication.

Take advantage of the extra-long summer days and enjoy the outdoors: hiking, biking, riding horseback or ATVs along kilometers of trails, fishing, swimming, or paddling along northern waterways, and winter sports, such as, skiing, skating, or ice-fishing. From prairie grasslands to dense boreal forest, you'll be immersed in communities with unique cultures that are all their own. 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.
