Mayo Clinic•Rochester, MN

1d•$36 - $59•Onsite

About The Position

The RN on Mayo 15 provides care for pediatric and adult patients. In this diverse practice, RNs will function in both a care team setting and a procedural testing area with a primary and secondary focus, allowing for cross-coverage. In the allergy lab setting, RNs will provide direct care for adult and pediatric patients. This environment is fast-paced, highly unpredictable, and requires extreme attention to detail. RNs will be performing skin tests; spirometry testing; allergen challenges; mixing, micro-measurement, and administration of medications; and responding to patient reactions as necessary. The Allergy Lab RN is required to have expert clinical assessment skills, exemplary attention to detail, and the ability to function autonomously in a largely protocol-driven setting. The registered nurse (RN) is accountable for the coordination of nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family. The RN will function within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model, which includes accountability for planning, implementing, evaluating and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients. The ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice provide a basis for the practice of the RN. The RN provides leadership through activities such as preceptor role, informal and formal leadership roles, and quality improvement efforts. The RN delegates patient care according to skill level, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability and availability of resources. The RN possesses excellent communication skills; is skillful in mentoring and teaching; and may participate on committees or projects.
