About The Position

The RN Team Lead works in Eisenberg 94/93 (EI94/93), a Bone Marrow Transplant/Hematology general-care unit. The bridged unit has HEPA air filtration to protect immunosuppressed patients from airborne infections. Nurses care for patients undergoing autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplants and peripheral stem cell infusions, across stages ranging from diagnosis and active treatment through recovery or end-of-life care. The unit also participates in individual and group cancer research programs as part of the Mayo Cancer Center. The RN Team Lead acts as a formal and informal unit leader and collaborates with management on daily planning and coordination. The role includes delegating patient care based on staff skills, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources; coordinating nursing care; and supporting patient and family education and transitions of care. The Team Lead develops staff, teaches and precepts, participates in committees and quality improvement, and contributes to evidence-based practice and research. Direct clinical care may also be required. The role follows the Mayo Nursing Care Model and the ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice. Unit nursing services include apheresis and marrow-harvest preparatory regimens, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, intensive supportive therapies for immunocompromised patients, and stem cell and marrow infusions. Emotional support and patient/family teaching are important components of care. Patients may be followed on the unit as hospital-based outpatients before and after transplant. This role is eligible for TN sponsorship. Successful sponsorship requires state licensure and completion of VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
