The Clinical Nurse Practitioner (NP) at CHEO is a nurse in an advanced nursing practice position with additional educational preparation from an accredited NP program and who has clinical expertise in a pediatric nursing subspecialty. The NP integrates the skills and knowledge from nursing and medicine within a broad framework of advanced nursing practice. The NP functions both autonomously and in collaboration with physicians and other health‑care providers to manage, in a comprehensive manner, the health‑care needs of an assigned number of perioperative patients.

In this NP role, the individual will be working within the acute pain service providing clinical care to patients and families receiving pain modalities such as NCA, PCA, epidural analgesia, nerve blocks and infusions that may be opioid sparing such as Ketamine and Lidocaine. The NP will function both autonomously and in collaboration with Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Allied Health and other health‑care providers to manage pain and symptoms both as an in‑patient and outpatient.

The NP will perform physical assessments and health histories, interpret lab and diagnostic results. The NP will develop and implement patient and family education tools and clinical pathways that will optimize pain management. Policies will need to be developed/updated in response to evidence‑based practices. They will develop initiatives to meet the needs of patients’ populations in order to reduce length of stay and coordinate and repatriate patient populations (neurosurgical population as an example).
