After the new year, we'll be opening more care beds where we specialize in three complex medical disciplines - nephrology, endocrinology, and rheumatology. We're looking for you to be part of developing and shaping Unit B173's new mission! Our Offer Unit B173 is a specialized ward where we primarily care for patients with kidney diseases and rheumatological conditions. After the new year, we'll also care for patients with endocrine diseases such as diabetes and other hormone-related conditions. In addition, we receive a high volume of patients from the emergency department with other medical issues. We're a department that dares to think differently, driven by great enthusiasm and commitment where we see solutions and opportunities instead of problems. We work toward an open and supportive climate where we encourage questions and suggestions for improvement. Do you want to be part of creating a thriving and absolutely fantastic unit?

A fantastic work team that supports each other where everyone is equally valued! To provide security and support for you as a new nurse, there's an experienced mentor nurse on site during weekdays. The mentor nurse can assist the care team when needed by helping with complex patient cases, answering questions that arise, and providing support during rounds for new staff. We're also a department that has progressed far in digital development and work with iPads (NOVA tablet) where we create digital checklists for daily tasks. The iPad also provides access to Cosmic for easier documentation, chart review, and medication administration. DOA - our day care unit is a facility where patients come for various infusions and outpatient procedures. This operation is located adjacent to the ward and helps reduce admissions. If you're interested, there may be opportunities to rotate to day care to add variety to your workday.
