Jobbeschreibung

This role is ideal for an RN or LPN who enjoys patient education, care coordination, and ensuring patients are fully prepared for their procedures.

• Respond to patient calls and electronic communications regarding procedure preparation and readiness.
• Coordinate with scheduling teams regarding cancellations, reschedules, and procedure eligibility concerns.
• Collaborate with physicians, clinic staff, physician nurses, and Endoscopy Center personnel to ensure continuity of care.
• Maintain accurate, complete, and timely documentation within the electronic medical record.
• Serve as a clinical resource for patients preparing for upcoming procedures.
• Support quality improvement initiatives and comply with all safety, infection prevention, and organizational policies.

Qualifications

Required:

• Graduate of an accredited nursing program (RN or LPN).
• Current and unrestricted Nebraska RN or LPN license.
• Minimum of two years of experience in a medical office, ambulatory care, or specialty healthcare setting.
• Experience using electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
• Strong communication, organizational, and critical-thinking skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

Preferred:

• Gastroenterology, endoscopy, surgical, procedural, or pre-admission testing experience.

• Experience providing patient education and coordinating care across multiple departments.
