Nursing Opportunities
Nurses make a valuable difference in the lives of Islanders by providing care to patients in our hospitals, comfort to seniors in our long-term care facilities, guidance to students as part of our school-based Student Well-being Teams and assistance to families in PEI communities. We have opportunities for new graduate and experienced nurses in ICU, acute care, and long term care settings across the Island.

BIG things happen in this small place!
PEI is a tight knit community where you’ll get to know people quickly. With ambition and a big voice, you can make a difference here.
Employer matches your contributions!
The PSPP (the Plan) provides you with a lifetime of monthly payments upon retirement. This will be a valuable financial asset when you are ready to retire.
Electronic Medical Records system
A province-wide EMR system will provide a common platform for community-based practitioners. It will also integrate with the province’s hospitals which use the Cerner electronic health record system.
Patient medical homes have been formed at five Island primary care locations, beginning the shift in primary health care from solo family practices to collaborative health care and better access to care for Islanders.
A redevelopment and expansion are currently underway with the goal of ensuring all people living in PEI will have equal opportunity to achieve and maintain the best possible mental health and well-being throughout their lifetime.
