Summary

Join the Geriatric Medicine inpatient team as a Nurse Practitioner based out of Mount St. Joseph (MSJ) Hospital located in the heart of Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant community! MSJ is an acute care hospital with a community feel – we offer emergency services, hospital care, outpatient care services and house a long-term care facility. Work alongside supportive geriatricians, a palliative care team, geriatric psychiatry, and a high-functioning interdisciplinary team. As a Nurse Practitioner, you will have 20% protected time for administrative and quality improvement work. In addition, you will benefit from a 6-month Nurse Practitioner residency with a focus on geriatrics that is tailored to your individual needs.

The Nurse Practitioner will play a vital role as part of a multidisciplinary team that assists older adults with their health care needs, including providing care to those who have experienced significant functional decline in a short time frame, or who are experiencing multiple complex medical and/or psychiatric problems. The Nurse Practitioner initiates treatment including health care management, therapeutic interventions and prescribes medications in accordance with the statutory and regulatory standards, limits, and conditions, and employer policies and procedures. The Nurse Practitioner provides professional guidance to health professionals and practices autonomously and interdependently within the context of an interdisciplinary health care team, making referrals to specialist physicians and other resources as deemed appropriate.

The position collaborates with patients/clients/residents and other health professionals to identify and assess trends and patterns that have implications for patients/clients/residents, families and communities; develops and implements population and evidence-based strategies to improve health and participates in policy-making activities that influence health services and practices. The position participates in peer review and self review to evaluate the outcome of services at the patient/client/resident, community and population level.
