Nurse Practitioners, great pay and expenses paid if you can travel!

20 Nurse Practitioners are needed for travel assignments in Canada’s north.

Consider being a part of the well-respected Bayshore care team providing primary healthcare services throughout the Regional Health Centers and Communities of Nunavut.

Superior remuneration is available for Nurse Practitioners, and the travel costs, the accommodation costs and your daily living costs are all covered, along with licensing, cellphone bills, taxis and more.

The assignments are at least 4 to 6 weeks but can be longer if you wish.

The total pay is $110.40 per hour after the training period, per the first 3 points below:

• The base pay is $85.00 per hour after the first 12 weeks of remote northern assignments, and after having completed the Agency Nurse Orientation & Training Program (ANOTP); prior to that the base pay is $70 per hour while in the orientation and training phase.
• On the wage amounts noted above a 4% vacation allocation will also be added to each pay.
• For your food and personal expenses, you will also receive $22.00 per hour of work, which is free of income tax because you are travelling for work, and because of this the $110.40 per hour has about the same take-home pay of a wage at $120 per hour.

• After another 900 hours of work similar expenses will be reimbursed to an additional $2,000.
