Undergraduate Nurse
Your Opportunity:
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has an opportunity available for an Undergraduate Nurse at Edson Healthcare Centre, a state-of-the-art hospital built in 2016. We are looking for individuals like you who are passionate about providing front-line patient care services in rural Alberta. This position will give you an incredible opportunity to develop a well-rounded practice as a Rural Nurse, which encompasses care in the emergency department, acute care, medical-surgical, and labor/delivery/postpartum. The Healthcare Centre also services the surrounding rural community which has approximately 10, 000 residents. Benefits of small-town life include vibrant outdoor recreation, short commutes, and no parking fees. Edson, located 192 kms from Edmonton, is a tight-knit town with a population of just under 9000 residents. You have easy access to major routes, including to the Rocky Mountains and are only two hours away from Jasper National Park for a quick weekend getaway. The community has lots to offer both individuals as well as families with several local public schools, and recreational activities all-year round. If you are looking for a slower pace of life in a safe, family-oriented community, Edson may the place you call home! Visit Edson.ca/community to read more about our beautiful community!
