During the academic year, the Nurse Manager provides clinical support as needed, including initial patient assessments, monitoring changes in condition, communicating with providers, administering medications, providing treatments, assisting with triage, drawing labs, and caring for inpatients. During summer months, the Nurse Manager is the sole nurse on duty five days per week. The role also schedules radiology and off-post appointments, verifies insurance, obtains pre-authorizations, coordinates transportation, organizes flu clinics, and coordinates lab testing for NCAA athletes and the ROTC Department.
