Registered Nurse - Allergy Clinic Care Team Practice - RN

Mayo Clinic • Rochester, MN

5d • $36 - $59

About The Position

The Registered Nurse on Mayo 15 provides care for pediatric and adult patients in a diverse practice, working both in a care team setting and a procedural testing area with primary and secondary focuses to support cross-coverage.

In the allergy lab, the RN provides direct care in a fast-paced, highly unpredictable environment that requires close attention to detail. Duties include performing skin tests and spirometry testing; conducting allergen challenges; mixing, measuring, and administering medications; and responding to patient reactions. The role requires strong clinical assessment skills and the ability to work autonomously in a largely protocol-driven setting.

In the allergy clinic care team, the RN conducts in-clinic patient education visits on topics such as asthma action plan management, environmental allergen control, and medication management. The RN also provides indirect patient care by phone and through the electronic medical record portal, including medication management, follow-up care, outcome management, and phone triage. The role involves collaboration with providers, desk operations staff, and other care team members, and requires critical thinking, time management, multitasking, adaptability, and comfort using multiple computer applications.

The RN coordinates nursing care, including direct patient care, patient and family education, and transitions of care. Within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model and the ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, the RN plans, implements, evaluates, and communicates all phases of care for assigned patients. The RN provides leadership through precepting, formal and informal leadership, and quality improvement; delegates care according to staff skills, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources; and may participate in committees or projects. Some employees may be required to drive a personal vehicle as part of their role.

New graduate nurses are directed to apply through Mayo Clinic’s Nurse Residency Program. The role is eligible for TN sponsorship, which requires state licensure and VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
