Licensed Practical Nurse
HHS is recruiting several Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) meant to fulfill short term contracts to meet the needs within Nova Scotia Health Authority.
Within their scope of practice and in collaboration with patients and the NSHA health care team, the LPN is responsible to provide care for patients with defined health challenges and predictable outcomes. As the acuity or complexity increases and/or outcomes are not predictable, the LPN, under the supervision of the RN, provides nursing interventions, within their scope of practice. The RN retains accountability for the assignment and/or delegation of patient care activities to the LPN, but the LPN is accountable for individual actions or practices. The LPN complies with documentation processes at NSHA sites.
Hourly rate:
$40-51/hour, commensurate on experience.
Benefits: Flights, accommodation and per diem based on contract (rental vehicle may be provided contingent on location)
Additional compensation: Paid travel mileage
Location: Various locations in Nova Scotia separated by 4 zones
o Central: Halifax Area, Eastern Shore, West Hants
o Eastern: Cape Breton, Guysborough, Antigonish
o Northern: Colchester-East Hans, Cumberland, Pictou
o Western: Annapolis Valley, South Shore, South West
Required Qualifications:
· Graduate of a recognized Licensed Practical Nursing program
· Registration with the Nova Scotia College of Nursing
· Basic Life Support – Level C (HCP) Certification
· LPN entry level competencies (e.g. IV initiation)
· LPN post-entry level competencies (e.g. venipuncture, care of PICC line (per role of LPN as outlined in the PICC line policy), nasogastric tubes (small bore feeding tubes only), medication administration)
· LPNs deployed to Mental Health programs must have training in non-violent crisis intervention, Pinel restraint training and emergency restraint chair training
· Current and clean Driver’s Abstract
· Willingness to work shift work, including days, nights and evenings
