Nurse Practitioner Opportunities

The Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a self-directed advanced practice nurse (APN) prepared at the graduate or doctorate level. In some clinical areas, the NP may be designated a Most Responsible Provider (MRP) still working within a collaborative practice model.

The NP demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge base in a practice area exhibiting a high degree of clinical competence in caring for select patient populations with acute and chronic specialized healthcare needs. The NP scope of practice incorporates the skills and knowledge from the disciplines of nursing and medicine. The NP provides patient care using advanced assessment skills and a sound knowledge of clinical therapeutics and provides direct and indirect patient care services to support patient care, promote professional education, and advance knowledge through research and scholarly activities. All duties and responsibilities of the NP conform to legislative, professional practice standards and hospital guidelines and when required are in accordance with a written agreement (medical directives, MRP practice agreements) with physician members of the medical staff at London Health Sciences Centre.
