Your Opportunity:
As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with the Specialty Outpatient Clinics at the Peter Lougheed Centre, you will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide safe, high-quality, patient and family centered care to a diverse outpatient population. This is a fast-paced, high-acuity environment where nurses play a key role in supporting safe and efficient patient flow. The position requires adaptability, strong organizational skills, and critical thinking to manage competing priorities.

This position requires the ability to work independently and collaboratively while maintaining effective communication with patients, families, physicians, and interprofessional team members. Successful applicants must be available to work a minimum of five (5) shifts within each two-week scheduling period.
