Providence Health Care's Mental Health program is currently accepting applications for RNs and RPNs to join their teams. Potential opportunities include:

• Inpatient Psychiatry & Psychiatric Stabilization
• Geriatric Psychiatry
• Eating Disorders
• Tertiary Neuropsychiatry
• Dementia Mental Health

Our RNs and RPNs are core members of our interdisciplinary care teams, working closely with other disciplines like Psychiatry, Social Work, Physiotherapy, and Occupational Therapy to tackle the variety of treatment needs of the patient populations we serve. With a tight‑knit and supportive working environment that fosters a sense of community amongst practitioners dedicated to patient care, being a nurse in Providence's Mental Health Program provides incredible opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, mentorship, and professional development.

Your responsibilities will include:

Comprehensive Patient Care: Assesses, plans, implements, and evaluates nursing care for patients/residents, addressing physical, social, spiritual, and psychological needs, and modifies care plans based on patient progress.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Documentation: Reviews patient status, monitors progress, documents assessments and interventions, and reports changes in patient condition to designated staff, ensuring effective communication within the healthcare team.

Patient Education and Crisis Management: Identifies patient and family learning needs, provides educational materials, leads group sessions, and manages crisis and life‑threatening situations through direct nursing interventions.

Team Support and Professional Development: Provides direction and guidance to other healthcare staff, participates in nursing orientation, shares clinical knowledge, engages in quality improvement activities, and supports nursing research to enhance practice.

Minimum Nurse‑to‑Patient Ratios (mNPR) set the minimum number of nurses required to safely care for patients on a given unit. Developed in partnership with the Ministry of Health, the BC Nurses' Union (BCNU), and health organizations across British Columbia, mNPR provides a consistent and transparent approach to staffing that supports safe nursing practice and high‑quality patient care. At Providence Health Care (PHC), our approach to implementing mNPR reflects our commitment to person‑centred, socially just, compassionate care and our dedication to Indigenous cultural safety.

Guided by our mission and values – Spirituality, Integrity, Stewardship, Trust, Excellence, and Respect – PHC is working collaboratively across all departments to ensure mNPR is thoughtfully adapted to the unique needs of each clinical program and specialty area. This tailored, values‑driven implementation aligns with our commitment to compassionate, innovative, and patient‑centred care and positions PHC to meet the evolving health needs of our patients,…
