About The Position

The RN Team Lead works on the Eisenberg 94/93 Bone Marrow Transplant/Hematology general-care unit, a bridged unit with HEPA air filtration designed to protect immunosuppressed patients from airborne infections. The unit cares for patients undergoing autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplants and peripheral stem cell infusions. Patients may receive hospital-based outpatient care before and after transplant and may be hospitalized at different stages, from initial diagnosis and active treatment through recovery or end of life. The unit also participates in individual and group cancer research programs as part of the Mayo Cancer Center.

The RN Team Lead serves as a formal and informal leader and collaborates with management staff in daily planning and coordination of the work unit. The role coordinates nursing care, including direct patient care, patient and family education, and transitions of care; supports professional nursing practice across care settings and the continuum; and may provide direct clinical care. The Team Lead works within the Mayo Nursing Care Model and is accountable for planning, implementing, evaluating, and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients.

The unit's 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 and family teaching are important components of care. The Team Lead delegates patient care according to staff skill level and experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources. Leadership activities include staff development, teaching, precepting, committee work, quality improvement, and participation in evidence-based practice and research. The role follows the ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice.
