Registered Nurse - Allergy Clinic Care Team Practice - RN

Mayo Clinic•Rochester, MN

About The Position

The Registered Nurse (RN) on Mayo 15 provides care for pediatric and adult patients in a diverse practice, working across both a care team setting and a procedural testing area to support cross-coverage. In the allergy lab, the RN provides direct patient care in a fast-paced, unpredictable environment requiring careful attention to detail. Duties include performing skin tests and spirometry, conducting allergen challenges, mixing and measuring medications, administering medications, and responding to patient reactions. The role requires expert clinical assessment and the ability to work autonomously in a largely protocol-driven setting. In the allergy clinic care team, the RN provides in-clinic patient education on topics such as asthma action plan management, environmental allergen control, and medication management. The RN also manages patients indirectly by phone and through the electronic medical record portal, providing medication management, follow-up and outcome management, and phone triage. Collaboration with providers, desk operations staff, and other care team members is important. The role requires critical thinking, time management, multitasking, autonomy in an unpredictable environment, and comfort using multiple computer applications. The RN coordinates nursing care, including direct patient care, patient and family education, and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across settings and the continuum of care, and plans, implements, evaluates, and communicates all phases of care for assigned patients in accordance with the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model and ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice. The RN also provides leadership through precepting, formal or informal leadership, and quality improvement; delegates care according to skill, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources; and may participate in committees or projects. A subset of employees may be required to drive a personal vehicle as part of the role. The position is eligible for TN sponsorship, subject to state licensure and completion of VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
