Registered Nurse
Your Opportunity:
Set dramatically between prairies and peaks, Calgary is a chic urban landscape surrounded by natural grandeur. It’s a place where you can savor the Rocky Mountain wilderness by day and world class cuisine and entertainment by night, a place buzzing with entrepreneurial energy while embracing its rich western heritage. The Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC) is an acute care hospital offering both inpatient and outpatient services with over 600 inpatient beds, including Medical, Surgical, Pediatrics, Women’s Health, and Critical Care. The PLC is often the busiest Emergency Department in the province and the quaternary Vascular Centre for Southern Alberta, Southwestern Saskatchewan, and Southeastern British Columbia. PLC Diagnostic Imaging (DI) is an interdisciplinary team providing patient and family centered care with an emphasis on working together. The PLC DI Team takes pride in our high-quality service to the City of Calgary and surrounding area and in all we do for our patients, colleagues, and community. As a PLC DI RN you will have the unique opportunity of working together with a team of high performing Technologists, Admin Support, RN’s, and Physicians supporting established workflows managing inpatient, outpatient and Emergency patient examinations. Please consider, while on call, there can be periods of 3-5 hours that these RN’s don’t have relief from wearing lead aprons or standing while they are scrubbed in for interventional procedures. These positions are most suited for physically fit candidates that can handle stressful lifesaving situations and undetermined outcomes.
