Licensed Practical Nurse
Your Opportunity:
Within the Maternity Care Department, the Postpartum Unit aims to attract and retain high-quality Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who will provide excellence in nursing assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of high-quality nursing care delivered across the perinatal continuum. The Postpartum LPN provides holistic, comprehensive and family-centered care within the context of our families, both independently and collaboratively as a member of the healthcare team. The LPN will consistently practice cultural sensitivity in a diverse, dynamic and fast-paced environment where critical thinking skills are required within the interdisciplinary team setting. This includes Postpartum care of patients who have given birth, including surgical deliveries, and the care of a normal newborn who is transitioning to extrauterine life. As an effective communicator, the LPN will provide family-centered teaching and care, focusing on health promotion, illness/injury prevention, infant nutrition, safety and discharge planning to prepare the dyad for transition back to their homes in the community. The LPN is accountable for their practice and will be guided by their education, experience, Alberta Health Services policies and procedures, as well as the CLPNA Code of Ethics and Professional Practice Standards. The LPN will consistently demonstrate AHS core values in their professional practice.
