About The Position

The Ambulatory Registered Nurse provides comprehensive, patient-centered nursing care in an outpatient clinic setting, supporting individuals and families across the continuum of care. The role uses the nursing process to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care; administer medications and treatments; perform clinical procedures; and provide patient education and care coordination in collaboration with providers and interdisciplinary teams. The RN ensures accurate documentation, adherence to infection-control and regulatory standards, and efficient clinic operations while promoting quality outcomes, patient safety, and culturally responsive care in a fast-paced ambulatory environment. The Registered Nurse independently applies critical thinking and professional judgment consistent with the Alaska Board of Nursing scope of practice. The RN assesses and responds to patient needs, develops and revises individualized plans of care, determines appropriate nursing interventions and priorities, and identifies when consultation, collaboration, or escalation to a licensed independent provider is required. The RN is accountable for nursing decisions, delegated tasks, and care outcomes. This position requires at least one year of case-management experience within the last two years in a clinical setting, such as a hospital, outpatient, or ambulatory setting. Agency staff must have an active Alaska nursing license at the time of submittal. SEARHC does not provide housing or transportation; the agency is responsible for ensuring the employee has both. The traveler will start no sooner than six weeks after fingerprint cards are received at SEARHC in Juneau.
