Your Opportunity:

The Home Nutrition Support Program (HNSP) is an ambulatory clinic at Alberta Children’s Hospital providing tertiary care to pediatric patients receiving enteral nutrition. You will join a team of Registered Nurses, a physician lead, and administrative support. Working with inpatient and ambulatory teams you will provide outpatient care for a medically complex patient population. Responsibilities include coordination of non-clinical supports (formula, feeding supplies, equipment), caregiver education through individual and group teaching, and ongoing clinical follow-up of enterally fed patients. You will practice in accordance with professional standards and best practice guidelines. The role requires proficiency in communication, decision-making, organization, accountability, conflict resolution, and management of complex clinical and interpersonal situations. This position involves desk and computer work, including urgent and unscheduled phone encounters, as well as physical demands such as prolonged standing, handling supplies and equipment, and performing enteral tube insertions. The role requires independent practice and frequent reprioritization within a fast-paced, highly visible ambulatory service. The HNSP operates in a high-volume environment with significant clinical and relational complexity, including regular management of concerns and escalations. Nurses in this role are accountable for timely clinical decision-making and coordination of care. This is a highly specialized area of practice requiring an RN with established training and expertise, strong professional knowledge, interprofessional competencies, and advanced clinical judgment. The successful candidate must meet all qualifications at the time of hire and be prepared to assume full responsibility for an assigned caseload upon appointment.
