About The Position

This is a general care medical unit that focuses on providing comprehensive care to patients from Chest and Medicine services. The team consists of RNs (Registered Nurses) and PCAs (Patient Care Assistants), working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary framework. This approach not only enhances patient care but also promotes professional development through shared decision-making. The types of patients admitted to this unit frequently present with a range of complex medical conditions. Common diagnoses include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, and pleural disease, among others. These conditions require careful monitoring and management, as they can significantly impact patients' respiratory health and overall well-being. The unit is equipped to manage such complexities, providing tailored interventions and therapies to address the unique needs of each patient. 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. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as a part of the responsibility of their role. This role is eligible for TN sponsorship. Successful sponsorship will require state licensure and completion of the VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
