What is ESN?

n The Employed Student Nurse

(ESN) program enables nursing students to gain clinical experience in the health care system in special paid part-time positions to strengthen their nursing education in a safe and supportive environment. ¡ ¡

n The purpose of the program is

to consolidate skills. You are not allowed to perform skills you have not learned in your nursing education program ¡

+ESN Basics cont’d

n Shifts are generally 12 hours but unit dependent (may be 8 hours)

compromising of days, nights, and weekends but no statutory holidays

n You will not supervise other workers or students at any time n You book your own ESN Shifts- Your nursing program is a priority

and school must not be missed or jeopardized.

n Work schedule and amount of hours required to work per month is

generally flexible but is dependent upon unit educator

n UBC and the Health Authorities strongly discourage booking ESN

shifts during your preceptorship in Feb 2016

+Working as an ESN

n Typical ESN Shift:

n Come on shift, sign in and get paired with a nurse. n Listen to report. n Connect with nurse and decide which patients are most appropriate

(half of nurses patient load, usually 2 patients).

n Independently begin your day of patient care (head-to-toe, vital

signs, focused assessments, wound care, bed bath, etc.).

n Ask nurse questions as needed. n Get narcotics, insulin and anticoagulants co-signed and checked

by RN.

n Help out other staff when possible (assisting with lifts/positioning,

answering call bells).

n Very similar to clinical but with more autonomy and an

expectation to self-start.
