Job Description

We are creating a resume pool of qualified Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) to connect with healthcare employers when new roles become available.

This posting is not tied to a single immediate vacancy. By applying, you agree that your resume and profile may be shared with partner long-term care homes, retirement residences, hospitals, primary care clinics, and community/home care agencies that are actively hiring RPNs.

When there is a suitable match, employers may reach out to you directly to discuss opportunities and arrange interviews.

Summary of the RPN Role

Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) provide direct, hands-on nursing care within their scope of practice, supporting residents, patients, and clients with a wide range of health needs. Working under the standards of the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and employer policies, RPNs play a key role in assessment, care planning, medication administration, health teaching, and coordination of care in long-term care, retirement, hospital, clinic, and community settings.

Key Responsibilities

Typical RPN duties may include, but are not limited to:

Clinical Care & Assessment

  • Perform focused nursing assessments, monitor vital signs, and observe changes in health status.
  • Contribute to the development, implementation, and evaluation of individualized care plans.
  • Provide direct nursing care such as wound care, catheter care, diabetic care, and other treatments within scope.

Medication & Treatment Administration

  • Safely prepare and administer medications (oral, topical, injectable, etc.) according to orders and policies.
  • Monitor therapeutic and side effects, and promptly report concerns to the appropriate provider.
  • Accurately document all medication administration and treatments in the designated system.

Resident/Patient Support & Education

  • Support residents and families in understanding care plans, medications, and health conditions.
  • Promote independence, dignity, and quality of life through person- and family-centred care.
  • Provide emotional support, active listening, and culturally sensitive communication.

Coordination & Collaboration

  • Communicate effectively with Registered Nurses (RNs), physicians, allied health professionals, PSWs, and other team members.
  • Participate in interdisciplinary care conferences and handovers.
  • Coordinate and prioritize workloads to ensure timely, safe care delivery.

Documentation & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate, timely, and legible documentation in electronic or paper health records.
  • Report changes in condition, incidents, and safety concerns to appropriate leaders.
  • Follow all organizational policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.

Safety, Quality & Professional Practice

  • Adhere to infection prevention and control practices, including PPE and hand hygiene.
  • Follow safety protocols, including fall prevention, restraint policies, and emergency procedures.
  • Practice in accordance with CNO standards, code of conduct, and scope of practice.
  • Engage in ongoing learning, training, and quality improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

Typical requirements for RPN positions may include:

  • Current Certificate of Registration as a Registered Practical Nurse in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO).
  • Practical Nursing diploma from an approved program.
  • Experience in one or more of the following is an asset:
    • Long-term care / retirement
    • Medical-surgical or acute care
    • Primary care / clinics
    • Home and community care
  • Current CPR (BLS) certification and other employer-required certifications.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, manage multiple priorities, and respond to changing client needs.
  • Strong assessment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with residents, families, and team members.
  • Demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and commitment to safe, ethical practice.
  • Clear criminal record check with vulnerable sector screening (or willingness to obtain).

RPNs with equivalent experience from other provinces (e.g., LPNs) may be considered if eligible for registration with CNO.

What Happens When You Apply

When you submit your resume to this RPN resume pool:

  1. Your profile is reviewed and added to our RPN talent database.
  2. When a partner employer has an RPN opening that matches your skills, preferred regions, and availability, your resume may be shared with that employer.
  3. The employer may contact you directly to:
    • Discuss the role and work setting
    • Schedule interviews (virtual or in-person)
    • Request references, licenses, and additional documentation

Submitting your resume does not guarantee a job offer, but it increases your visibility and access to multiple healthcare employers looking for RPNs.
