Registered Nurse

Within the Women’s Health program, SHC has implemented a new and exciting approach to family centered and maternity care: Single Room Maternity Care (SRMC). An RN operating in a SRMC model, will require competence across the spectrum of antenatal, labour and delivery, postpartum and newborn care. In addition, the RN may have the exciting opportunity to work in the obstetrical operating room and maternity triage. The Women’s Health RN provides leadership in nursing assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation across a continuum of care, with the purpose of providing safe, quality care for women and families while reflecting the shared vision of SHC. The RN will be guided by their education, experience, demonstrated skill level and Alberta Health Services policies, procedures, and position description.
