Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) is seeking a critical care trained, transport experienced nurse to be part of its strong High Acuity Response Team (HART) of Registered Nurses.   HART nurses attend to acute patients in rural and remote health sites, either stabilizing them to avoid transfer or transporting to a higher level of care.  BC Ambulance Services provides transport with a basic life support ambulance team while HARTs supply advanced training in airway management.

“Our team is quite close.  RIH is nice sized hospital that is not too big that you feel like a number.  We perform on average one transport per day with the majority of calls at a CTAS II level or higher.”
