Registered Registered Nurse
The Sitting Room
Edmonton, Alberta
Position Type: Contract
Compensation Range:
$33 to $50 per hour
About Us
The Sitting Room is a medically supervised Ketamine-assisted care clinic dedicated to providing safe, ethical, and compassionate care for individuals seeking healing, personal growth, and improved mental health outcomes.
Our interdisciplinary team includes physicians, nurses, and social workers who work collaboratively to create a safe and supportive environment for clients undergoing ketamine-assisted treatment.
We believe that exceptional care requires more than technical competence. It requires presence, compassion, self-awareness, humility, and the ability to accompany another human being through moments of uncertainty.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Registered Nurse who combines strong clinical judgment with emotional intelligence, authenticity, and a genuine interest in supporting individuals through transformative experiences. This position involves medical monitoring, client support, collaboration with our interdisciplinary team, documentation, and participation in maintaining a safe therapeutic environment.
While previous experience in Ketamine assisted care is an asset, it is not required. We can teach clinic procedures, protocols, and treatment models. What we cannot teach is the depth of personal work, self-awareness, emotional maturity, and authentic presence that clients deserve and that this work requires.
Responsibilities
Monitor clients before, during, and following treatment sessions.
Obtain and document vital signs and clinical observations.
Recognize and respond appropriately to changing clinical conditions.
Collaborate with physicians, and other professional to ensure continuity of care.
Maintain accurate clinical documentation in accordance with professional standards and clinic policies.
Support a safe, respectful, and trauma-informed treatment environment.
Participate in team meetings, training, and quality improvement activities.
Adhere to all applicable legislation, professional standards, privacy requirements, and organizational policies.
Required Qualifications
Current registration and good standing with the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CRNA).
Current CPR/BLScertification.
Current Criminal Record Check satisfactory to The Sitting Room.
Current Vulnerable Sector Check satisfactory to The Sitting Room.
Eligibility to work in Canada.
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years experience in:
Mental health, Addictions, Community Health, Palliative care or related fields.
Understanding of trauma-informed practice.
Experience supporting individuals experiencing mental health challenges.
Interest in emerging psychedelic therapies and innovative approaches to care.
Personal Qualities
Successful candidates will demonstrate:
Deep self-awareness and a commitment to ongoing personal growth.
Emotional maturity and the ability to regulate themselves during challenging situations.
A non-judgmental attitude toward people from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, identities, and life experiences.
The ability to remain calm, grounded, and compassionate when others are experiencing emotional distress.
Comfort working in environments where outcomes may be uncertain and experiences cannot always be predicted.
The ability to pivot gracefully during periods of ambiguity while maintaining client safety and professional boundaries.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
Curiosity, humility, and openness to learning.
The ability to work collaboratively within an interdisciplinary team.
Respect for client autonomy and the unique healing journey of each individual.
Able to maintain professional boundaries while being warm and compassionate.
What Makes This Work Different?
Psychedelic-assisted care is not about fixing people. It is about creating the conditions in which healing can emerge.
Our most effective team members are individuals who can sit comfortably with uncertainty, remain present without needing to control outcomes, and support clients with compassion, professionalism, and respect. They understand that sometimes the most important contribution they make is not what they do, but how they show up.
If you are a nurse who values both clinical excellence and human connection, we would love to hear from you.
