The Medical Withdrawal Service (MWS) is an exciting inpatient service within the Acute Care Program at CAMH. We are seeking a part-time, permanent RPN to join this supportive team. MWS supports adult clients with severe substance use and/or complex pain disorders who require medically-supervised withdrawal and rotation to safer substances. Using principles of harm reduction and measurement-based care, Registered Practical Nurses are an essential part of this collaborative and welcoming team. You will continuously assess physiologic stability, mental status, risks, functional ability, motivation and client skills.
You will use evidence-based, standardized pharmacological protocols and will develop the skills needed to accurately assess and monitor client progress. You will administer medications safely via IV, perform wound care and prevent further physical destabilization of client health. Successful RPN candidates are well supported by the team during a robust orientation, which includes dedicated support from the Advance Practice Clinical Leader and Nurse Educator. Unit orientation focuses on developing and refining the knowledge and skills needed to work safely and provide excellent, life-preserving care to a vulnerable population.
RPNs in MWS collaborate to develop, implement and evaluate interprofessional plans of care. You will be supported to participate in reflective practice, and provide mentorship and supervision to students. You will have the opportunity to take on leadership and career development activities, while supporting a workplace that embraces diversity and teamwork. You will ensure safe practice according to the Practice Standards (CNO) and Canadian Standards of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing (CFMHN).
