Registered Nurse – Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

The Registered Nurse will work as part of, and are supported by, a multi-professional team within the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). As a member of the multi-professional healthcare team, the Registered Nurse coordinates and evaluates patient care and provides nursing care according to the standards of practice for Registered Nurses.  PICU nurses provide medical and surgical intensive care, working collaboratively in both the Level 3 PICU and Level 2 step-down areas which are fast-paced, complex and highly technologically integrated environments. In addition to working within the unit, once the required experience is obtained, opportunities exist for the PICU Registered Nurses to complete advanced training to work within the Pediatric Critical Care Response Team (PACE), as well as become a member of the Pediatric Critical Care Transport Team, which provides land transport for critically ill children across southern Ontario.
