The team works from the Hudson Family Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, a state-of-the-art facility outfitted with 28 private patient rooms. These large, spacious rooms provide more space for equipment and large teams of health providers to care for our young patients and for their family to be present throughout their care. Along with providing excellent patient care, RNs will enjoy the benefits of being part of BCCH, a leader in general and specialized pediatric services in Canada, and the province’s foremost teaching and research facility for child health.
