PCN Registered Nurses

What is a PCN Registered Nurse?

A PCN registered nurse (RN) permits your family doctor to get quicker access to comprehensive support for patients, especially those who are frail, elderly, and/or have complex and chronic conditions. This support enables family doctors to focus on things like building relationships with you as a person and spending more time on difficult diagnostic dilemmas.

A registered nurse works to support your health, including:

  • Wound care and follow-up visits
  • Performing comprehensive and focused assessments
  • Administering Vaccinations
  • Prioritizing referrals and screening of patient information
  • Complex care and Chronic Disease Management visits (CDM)

“My experience with the new PCN nurse was that she was very attentive; and took the time to explain everything. She’s very knowledgeable​!”
