Nurse Practitioner - Heart Function Clinic - Residency

Salary

The salary range for this position is CAD $59.56 - $85.62 / hour

Bring your clinical expertise and passion for providing quality, compassionate care to a challenging and rewarding role as a Nurse Practitioner in the Heart Function Clinic located in Abbotsford Regional Hospital in Abbotsford, B.C. The Abbotsford Regional Hospital Heart Function Clinic (ARH HFC) is an outpatient clinic where the multidisciplinary team manages patients with a diagnosis of heart failure or suspected heart failure with or without low ejection fraction using evidence‑based care.

These patients have complex medical needs and will require patient education and optimization of therapy through medications over multiple visits. Once optimized, patients are returned to their primary care providers or specialists for ongoing care. The nurse practitioner will be working with the point‑of‑care heart health and cardiology team which comprises heart failure specialists, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, dietitian, pharmacist, and unit clerks.

This position will have the opportunity to provide support and coverage in the cardiac care unit (CCU) in the future. To consolidate the NP’s knowledge, skills and clinical experience, this NP would initially start at the ARH heart function clinic for the first 3‑6 months post residency. As the NP gains confidence and readiness, the goal would be to provide support to CCU as well in collaboration with the NP and the team.

Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre is a 280‑bed, University of British Columbia affiliated hospital offering medical, surgical, obstetric, inpatient pediatric, renal, cardiology, tertiary palliative care, helipad, as well as 24/7 emergency services with nearly 80,000 visits annually. We are currently looking for a nurse practitioner to join us working with internal medicine services across Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Abbotsford is in the heart of the Fraser Valley, one hour (70 km) southeast of Vancouver’s city centre. This large rural city in the country is set against stunning views of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains and Washington’s Mount Baker. With a lower cost of living than Metro Vancouver, the area attracts residents who want a slower pace and enjoy a small‑town feel. Here what the team has to say about their experience working and/or living in Abbotsford.
