The RN Transplant Coordinator is a licensed professional nurse responsible for managing and coordinating all aspects of care for solid organ transplant patients and living donor candidates across the continuum—from referral and evaluation through waitlist management, inpatient care, surgery, and post-transplant/post-donation follow-up. The coordinator ensures patient-centered, regulatory-compliant, and efficient delivery of care by serving as a central liaison among patients, living donors, families, referring providers, and the multidisciplinary transplant team. Coordinators are assigned a focus area (Pre-Transplant, Waitlist, Post-Transplant, Inpatient, Outreach, or Living Donor) while maintaining accountability to the broader transplant program’s quality goals and compliance standards (UNOS/OPTN, CMS, Joint Commission, and institutional policies). This role supports high-quality, safe, and ethical care for both transplant recipients and living donor candidates.
