Your Opportunity:

Join George McDougall – Smoky Lake Healthcare Centre as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and enjoy Alberta’s natural beauty while making a meaningful impact in a 12 bed rural hospital. You’ll work to your full scope caring for a diversity of clients in Acute Care and the Emergency Department while delivering patient- and family centered, evidence informed care as part of a multidisciplinary team. We’re seeking a strong problem solver and decision maker who can assess, plan, and evaluate interventions while actively engaging patients and families in their care. This role offers broad training, a supportive environment, and the unique rewards of rural nursing. Resting amid dense forest along the shore of its namesake lake, Smoky Lake offers an exceptional quality of life rooted in rich Alberta history and small town charm. Established during Alberta’s early settlement era, the community reflects deep agricultural and cultural heritage, with modern amenities thoughtfully interwoven among preserved historic sites. The surrounding landscape supports a thriving farmers’ market and access to the popular Iron Horse Trail that offers year round outdoor recreation alongside a range of local sports and social activities. Located on Treaty 6 territory and the traditional lands of the Métis, this heritage is celebrated nearby at Métis Crossing through unique cultural experiences. With affordable housing, a welcoming and close knit community, excellent recreation facilities, and Edmonton just 90 minutes away, Smoky Lake is an ideal place to build a career, raise a family, and become part of a community. We offer a supportive work environment, opportunities for professional growth, and the chance to make a meaningful difference.
