Registered Nurse, Emergency - Nursing

My name is Candis, and I am the Clinical Leader Manager of the St. Michael's Hospital Emergency Department, and I am inviting you to join our team.

St. Michael's Hospital is one of only a few facilities in Ontario with expertise and leadership in providing specialized care in Trauma, Critical Care, Neurosurgery, Stroke, and Cardiac Care, amongst harm reduction supports for people who use drugs.

As a emergency nurse myself, I know and believe in the phrase that "nurses are the heart of healthcare". We are looking for individuals that are interested in practicing the full spectrum of emergency nursing, in a one of a kind setting, as part of an expert team. Our department is home to world-leading practitioners, and we are here to support our new team members to grow and excel, and contribute to best care experiences for our patients.

We are amidst a large-scale renovation to create a Best in Class Emergency Department. Our new acute zone comprises 36 individual rooms, and our brand-new trauma bay opened in January 2020. Safety and staff wellness are top priorities.

If you want to learn more, please contact me by email at candis.kokoski@unityhealth.to. If you are keen to join our team, please apply to this posting here.
