Job Description:
The Registered Nurse (RN) provides direct patient care, working
in collaboration with healthcare teams to ensure high-quality care,
safety, and comfort for patients. RNs assess, plan, implement, and
evaluate patient care, and they are responsible for administering
medications, monitoring patient progress, and offering support to
patients and their families. This role may vary depending on the
department and healthcare setting (e.g., medical-surgical, ICU, ER,
etc.), but it always requires strong clinical knowledge, critical
thinking, and compassionate care. Key Responsibilities: Patient
Assessment and Care Planning: Conduct comprehensive assessments of
patients’ physical, emotional, and psychological needs upon
admission and throughout their care. Develop, implement, and update
individualized care plans based on patient assessments and
interdisciplinary team discussions. Regularly evaluate patient
progress and modify care plans accordingly to meet their needs and
health goals. Administering Medications and Treatments: Administer
medications, treatments, and IV therapy as prescribed by the
physician, ensuring proper dosages and monitoring for adverse
reactions. Maintain accurate records of medications and treatments
given and ensure adherence to safety protocols. Monitor for and
respond to any side effects or complications related to treatments
or medications. Patient Monitoring: Monitor vital signs (blood
pressure, heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.), as
well as other critical indicators specific to patient needs.
Perform diagnostic tests, such as blood draws, ECGs, or urine
tests, and communicate results to the appropriate healthcare team
members. Document patient status, changes in condition, and any
interventions in the electronic health record (EHR). Patient
Education and Support: Educate patients and families about
diagnoses, treatment plans, medications, recovery processes, and
lifestyle changes needed to support health. Provide emotional and
psychological support to patients and families, addressing
concerns, anxieties, and offering comfort. Teach patients about
preventative care, home care instructions, and how to manage
chronic conditions post-discharge. Collaboration with Healthcare
Team: Work with physicians, nurse practitioners, technicians, and
other healthcare professionals to develop and implement patient
care plans. Communicate effectively with the interdisciplinary team
to discuss patient progress, needs, and any changes in care.
Advocate for patient care needs and ensure the coordination of care
across disciplines, such as physical therapy, nutrition, and social
services. Emergency and Critical Care: Respond promptly to
emergencies, including cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and
other urgent conditions, utilizing life-saving measures as needed
(e.g., CPR, ACLS). Assess and stabilize patients in acute
situations, collaborating with the healthcare team to determine the
most appropriate interventions. Infection Control and Safety:
Follow infection control policies and procedures, including proper
hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and
maintaining a sterile environment. Ensure patient safety by
identifying potential risks and taking steps to prevent harm (e.g.,
fall prevention, pressure ulcer prevention). Documentation and
Reporting: Accurately document all aspects of patient care,
including assessments, treatments, responses, and changes in
condition. Ensure that records comply with hospital policies, legal
requirements, and accreditation standards. Report significant
changes in patient status to physicians and other healthcare team
members in a timely manner. Patient Discharge: Assist with patient
discharge by ensuring the patient has all necessary instructions,
medications, and follow-up appointments scheduled. Provide
education on self-care and symptom management after discharge, and
ensure patients understand the importance of follow-up care.
Professional Development: Stay current on the latest clinical
practices, technologies, and nursing research through continuing
education, certifications, and training. Participate in
departmental meetings, peer reviews, and professional committees to
ensure best practices and patient safety.
