Summary
Within the context of a client and family centred model of care and, in accordance with the Mission, Vision and Values, and strategic directions of Providence Health Care, the person promotes a safe, respectful, and civil working environment for patients, residents, families, visitors and staff. Reporting to the Patient Care Manager or Resident Care Manager and working in collaboration with the interdisciplinary household team, the Household Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is responsible for providing nursing care to an assigned group of patients/residents according to established policies and procedures and the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives Standards for Licensed Practical Nurses.
The Household LPN functions as an independent clinician, while recognizing situations such as changes in stability or predictability, or care that falls outside the scope or competence of the LPN, requiring consultation or referral to another health care team member including a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN). The Household LPN assists residents in meeting their physical, social, spiritual, and psychological needs, consistent with the mission, vision and values of Providence Health Care (PHC) and established protocols.
Participates in developing care plans, conducting assessments, implementing, and evaluating interventions, documenting information, and acting as an advocate for residents. The Household LPN is a member of the household team and works with the team to ensure that the abilities, preferences and routines of each resident are considered in decision making, and determining the order of the day. The Household LPN collaborates with other members of the household care team to share tasks and duties as appropriate to ensure the functioning of the household.
Participates in a variety of meetings including care conferences and assists with orientation of new staff and students as required. Responds and reports incidents according to established procedures and performs clerical duties, as needed.
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, residents, families, and communities.
