Bilingual RN Assessor – New Brunswick
Term: Contractor (1-2 days per month)
Location: Moncton, NB (in-person at Université de Moncton)
Compensation: $50 per hour
THE OPPORTUNITY
Inspire Global Assessments (or “Inspire”), through its Bilingual assessment centre at Université de Moncton in Moncton, NB, administers assessments for internationally-educated healthcare professionals—specifically those seeking employment as Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses. The Inspire Assessment is a comprehensive, multifaceted competency assessment that evaluates strengths and gaps in entry-level competencies, helps determine readiness to practice, and provides direction for remediation.
The Inspire Assessor plays a key role in the administration of the Inspire Assessment by observing and “scoring” candidates in the Simulation Lab Assessment. Scoring is completed using standardized checklists, which credit the candidates for appropriate actions completed. The Assessor will have minimal direct interaction with each candidate, providing scripted cues and responses only as needed.
WHO WE ARE
Inspire is owned and operated by the BC College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). BCCNM launched Inspire (formally known as NCAS) in January 2017 as a service for assessing the competencies of nurses and health care aides seeking licensure in BC. The assessment is designed to provide a consistent, rigorous and defensible approach to determining the extent to which potential registrants possess the competencies required to enter practice safely.
BCCNM is committed to treating all applicants and employees with dignity and respect in a workplace free from all forms of discriminatory treatment, behaviour or practice. We strongly encourage submissions from all qualified individuals, including folks who have been systemically excluded from the health sector, not limited to but including Black, Indigenous and racialized people, people living with disabilities, and two-spirit, queer, trans and non-binary persons.
