Clinical Nurse Educator - Emergency Department

South Health Campus is an innovative concept that is more than a “hospital.” It is built in a campus environment and includes inpatient, outpatient, and wellness services, as well as prevention, public health education and learning opportunities for community members. The campus has wellness facilities with partners such as a YMCA, as well as retail and commercial partnerships. The hospital adheres to four key pillars of service: Collaborative Practice, Wellness, Patient and Family Centred Care and Innovation. These pillars are the key philosophical principles used in the development and implementation of all care to patients and families at SHC. The role of the Clinical Nurse Educator is a key position within the leadership team of the SHC ED. The CNE is an expert in Emergency Nursing and is responsible for providing clinical expertise to the health care team. The CNE is a strong advocate for the four SHC pillars (Collaborative Practice, Innovation, Patient and Family Centered Care and Wellness) and incorporates this into daily practice.
