Is this you?

You are curious and self-aware. This unit's diverse patient population offers great learning opportunities for those with an inquisitive mindset. Additionally, those who reflect on their knowledge and identify areas for improvement thrive in a general medicine setting.

You value autonomy within a supportive structure. Nurses on this team self-schedule breaks and organize their workdays to suit their workflow.

About The 10 North General Internal Medicine Unit

We are a 28-bed general internal medicine unit specializing in acute care for elders (ACE). Benefit from manageable nurse-to-patient ratios: 4 patients per nurse during the day and 5-6 patients at night. Our patients are typically admitted with diverse and complex medical needs, including pneumonia, congestive heart failure, delirium, infection, cancer, and other acute and chronic illnesses.

Our patients are often socially, functionally and medically complex which offers RN’s unique opportunities to develop specialized expertise in respiratory medicine, oncology, palliative care, pain management, wound care, and geriatrics. With Canada's aging population, these future-ready skills are highly transferable and valuable throughout the health care system.

Nurses on this team note the supportive leadership structure as one of the key factors in the high employee retention on this unit. Our goal is to coach and mentor our nurses and make sure they can continue to develop their skills in an environment that feels safe.

• Provide direct patient and family centered care for general internal medicine patients

• Apply a broad range of nursing skills including (but not exclusive to) CADD pumps, nephrostomy tubes, complex wounds, central lines, enteral feeding tubes, TPN, CIWA monitoring, managing a Code Blue, and chemotherapy
