ABOUT IKAJUQ CARE
Ikajuq Care is a fast-growing Nunavut-based Nursing agency that specializes in the recruitment and placement of permanent, contract and temporary nurses, personal care workers and allied health professionals. Rooted in our true belief that healthcare should be centered around caring, we connect competent and culturally sensitive healthcare professionals and people to provide end-to-end healthcare solutions to our clients. We offer tailored and adaptative solutions to meet our client’s specific needs.
At Ikajuq Care, we believe in culturally competent practices in nursing. Nurses are called upon to respond with sensitivity to everyone, regardless of race, disability, socioeconomic status, religion, or sexual orientation. We understand that patients’ backgrounds and experiences often influence how patients understand their own health, their relationship with healthcare professionals and the care they receive.
Cultivating diversity awareness gives nurses a leg up in improving communication, building trust and respect, and getting the best patient outcomes.
​
Our nurses seek ways to overcome barriers, such as stereotyping and bias, to deliver quality healthcare. Respecting and valuing all patients is at the core of our values with an emphasis on cultural humility.
