Original job description

CAMH’s Nursing Innovation & Transition Program is recruiting newly-graduated Registered Practical Nurses to join our team as part of the Nursing Graduate Guarantee Initiative. Our team is well-equipped to support your learning and development during your robust 12 weeks residency on one unit with further support in transitioning to nursing roles within CAMH post-residency. At this time, we are recruiting exclusively for our Emergency Department program. This is a fast-paced unit specializing in crisis management and acute mental health care needs, that offers a rare opportunity for new graduate nurses to be considered for Full-Time and Part-Time permanent employment post-NGG. Interested candidates do not need emergency or mental health experience to apply, instead they must demonstrate the interest and aptitude for this clinical setting.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will work within an interprofessional care team to provide direct client- and family-centered mental health and addictions care. You will work with diverse client populations and liaise, as appropriate, with other services across CAMH and within the community to coordinate care. You will engage in reflective practice and have the opportunity to contribute to program development.

In your future role, you will demonstrate the ability to make behavioral observations; conduct mental status examinations, physical health assessments, and risk assessments; monitor clients’ responses to pharmaceutical and care interventions; document in the electronic health record; and engage in ongoing communication with other team members. You will develop knowledge and understanding of crisis intervention, addiction issues, group facilitation, recovery-oriented services, trauma-informed care, and severe and persistent mental illnesses. You will support and contribute to a healthy workplace that embraces diversity, promotes dignity and respect, encourages teamwork and complies with all applicable legislative and regulatory requirements.

This position is located at the Queen Street site and involves shiftwork and weekend work.

Qualifications

Eligible to participate in the Nursing Graduate Guarantee Initiative, as per the requirements set by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

Within 12 months of registering with the CNO and able to practice without restrictions, or able to obtain a temporary class license through the CNO and proof of registration to write the NCLEX

Have not held a nursing position in Ontario in the last 6 months

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to enable you to develop the nurse-client relationship and work within a collaborative and diverse interprofessional team

Effective decision-making, organizational and problem-solving skills

Able to work with clients of diverse cultural and social backgrounds

Current CPR/BCLS certification

Computer literacy is required

Previous clinical placement experience in mental health and/or addictions is a strong asset, but not mandatory

Bilingualism (French/English) and/or proficiency in a second language would be an asset

Salary Range: $31.45 – $38.33 per hour
