As an Eating Disorders nurse, you'll have the opportunity to support that journey, contributing with hundreds of moments of trust, compassion, and clinical expertise. PHC's Eating Disorders Program is currently accepting applications for RNs and RPNs to join their team. Our nurses play a central role in helping patients rebuild their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves.

Working alongside an experienced interdisciplinary team, you'll provide evidence-based mental health and medical care while supporting individuals through one of the most challenging—and rewarding—recovery journeys in healthcare.

Within our Mental Health Program, 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 the Program provides incredible opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, mentorship, and professional development.

Your responsibilities will include:

Reporting to the Patient Care Manager, the Staff Nurse, assesses, identifies, plans, implements and evaluates the nursing care required to assist patients/residents in meeting their physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs using an established framework for nursing practice. Develops, implements, evaluates and revises the plan of care. Incorporates individual and/or group teaching into the care plan and nursing interventions and/or makes referrals to other identified resources.

Supports other nurses and health care professionals by collegially sharing information and demonstrating procedures. The Staff Nurse works within an interdisciplinary clinical framework in accordance with the BCCNM Standards and consistent with the mission, vision and values and established protocols of Providence Health Care.

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
