Overview
As a member of the military, Critical Care Nursing Officers provide care in the critical care domain to ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and supported populations in inpatient care and medical evacuation environments while on operation. They are specialized in intensive care, emergency room, and trauma resuscitation.
Critical Care Nursing Officers work within a collaborative practice model with other healthcare team members and lead nursing care within their practice area. They have opportunities to work in various domains including:
Patient care delivery
Policy and program management
Clinical leadership
Training and education
Work environment
They typically work in civilian hospitals, Aeromedical Evacuation units, operational CAF units, training establishments, and Headquarters. The schedule may vary from shifts to a regular 40-hour week, depending on the environment. They contribute to exercises, medical evacuation flights, and emergencies domestically or internationally.
During deployments abroad, they live and work alongside CAF members. Depending on the career path (Regular or Primary Reserve), postings and relocations vary, with the Reserve offering part-time work with minimal relocations.
Entry options
Direct Entry:
If you have a university degree, a license to practice as a Registered Nurse in Canada, and civilian critical care experience, the CAF may place you directly into a Critical Care Nursing Officer role after evaluation. Additional education and certification may be required.
