    Description

    Job Description

    Are you an experienced registered nurse (BScN or diploma) looking for a different kind of practice environment, and comfortable practising both independently and as part of a team? This could be what you've been looking for.

    As an integral part of our Rapid Response Nursing (RRN) team, you will work with medically complex children and/or frail adults and seniors with medically complex needs and/or high-risk characteristics such as congestive heart failure, to ensure a smooth transition from acute care to home care. You will achieve this in two ways: by connecting with primary care and by providing hands-on rapid response home care.

    In fact, you'll make the first in-home nursing visit to high-needs patients, shortly after their discharge from hospital, during which you'll confirm the hospital discharge care plan, emphasize the importance of primary care to avoid re-hospitalization, and reconcile medications. You will also provide support to patients for up to 30 days post-discharge.

    What will you do?

    Once the patient is home, confirm scheduling of outstanding medical tests, availability of transportation, etc.Either directly or in partnership with a pharmacist, ensure new prescriptions are filled and there are no drug interactions or contraindications.

  • Review medication protocol with the patient and caregiver, and answer any questions
  • Either directly or through a HCCSS Care Coordinator, contact the primary care physician and provide an update on the patient's acute care event and post-discharge regime
  • Facilitate the patient's one-week follow-up visit with the primary care physician
  • Provide direct care to patients in collaboration/consultation with a HCCSS Care Coordinator or Service Provider(s), as assigned
  • Identify patients requiring an accelerated assessment and home care services, and facilitate the home assessment visit
  • Support the HCCSS Care Coordinator in developing the HCCSS patient care plan and ensuring a smooth transition to the ongoing care team
  • Participate in establishing, maintaining and monitoring case management standards

    • What must you have?

  • Membership, in good standing, with the College of Nurses of Ontario
  • BScN or diploma in Nursing
  • 5+ years of relevant experience as a Registered Nurse
  • Emergency/critical care, medicine/surgical, community nursing, rehab and Paeds experience an asset
  • Working knowledge of community resources and roles of health care professionals
  • Knowledge of direct care/case management models used in community health care organizations
  • Solid knowledge of health care-related legislation and practices
  • Working knowledge of the nursing process, the consultation process, program planning and crisis management
  • Advanced assessment and diagnostic reasoning skills
  • Effective interpersonal, organizational and planning skills
  • Ability to communicate effectively with patients, their families and other individuals involved in the circle of care, to follow through with care plan directives
  • Demonstrated awareness of cultural diversity and ability to handle confidential issues discreetly and sensitively
  • A valid driver's licence and access to a reliable vehicle
  • Ability to use a computer in a Windows environment

    • What would give you the edge?

  • Case Management Certificate
  • Emergency/critical care, community nursing, medicine/surgical, rehab and Paeds experience
  • Ability to speak French or another second language
