Job description

POSITION SUMMARY

The Registered Nurse is a member of the interdisciplinary team working in collaboration with the Physician. The Registered Nurse utilizes the nursing care process consistent with their license and/or certification, including initiation of culturally competent continuum of care in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. The RN is responsible for overseeing coordination of the interdisciplinary plan of care and ensuring consistency with the medical treatment plan. The patient care process includes assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation of patient outcomes, education, and empowerment for patient empowerment.

JOB DESCRIPTION

• Assessment – orderly process of identifying, gathering, and organizing subjective and objective data pertaining to the patient/family/significant other, including physical, psychosocial, spiritual, and cultural aspects.
• Planning – organized step that identifies actual or potential problems and desired outcomes (goals) that result in a documented plan of care, providing direction for the patient, family, and interdisciplinary team.
• Intervention – specific interventions or orders implemented consistently with the plan of care and medical treatment plan.
• Evaluation – step that determines the effectiveness of interventions in achieving the plan of care and makes conclusions concerning achievement or lack of achievement of desired outcomes. This may initiate reassessment and revisions to problems, goals, plan of care, and interventions, providing documentation of required actions. Based upon findings identified during assessment and reassessment, patients have problems identified and prioritized relative to biophysical, psychological, environmental, self‑care, educational, and social status; goals are identified consistent with the problem to provide direction for patient care and health promotion; education is consistent with the identified problem and associated goals and is seen as critical to creating an environment that promotes patient empowerment.

Employee may be required to perform Limited Laboratory Services, including patient identification and preparation for specimen collection, processing samples for testing, performing required quality control testing and instrument maintenance, function checks, monitoring, recording, and reporting test results to clinicians (including critical values), and maintaining competency/certification of these tasks and duties.

Licensed and registered care providers are responsible for utilizing the care process relative to their scope of practice and knowledge base; they may document the assessment, plan, intervention, and evaluation. All patient care activities are administered according to standards, procedural guidelines, and organizational policy.

The Registered Nurse actively supports performance improvement initiatives and provides leadership to other members of the patient care team. By participating in educational activities, the RN assumes responsibility for continued professional and personal growth.
