Registered Nurse - GI Endoscopy - RN

The Ambulatory Care Registered Nurse (RN) is accountable for the delivery of direct patient care including patient education in the outpatient setting.

The RN working in the GI Endoscopy practice on Gonda 9 South provides care for adult patients in the GI procedure area. RNs are expected to work in all three direct patient care phases; Pre-Procedure (Intake), Intra-Procedure (Procedures) and Post-Procedure (Recovery).

RNs working in Intake are responsible for completing a GI focused history and patient assessment prior to their endoscopy procedure. In this capacity, RNs will provide patient education for endoscopic procedures; review the medical history, including the current medication list and allergies to ensure the patient is able to proceed with their scheduled endoscopy procedure.

RNs working in Procedures are responsible for reviewing the GI focused history and patient assessment gathered by the Intake RN. In this capacity, RNs will provide moderate sedation under the direction of the Physician; provide physiologic monitoring and airway management of the sedated patient.

RNs working in Recovery are responsible for monitoring patients post-sedation. In this capacity, RNs will continue physiologic monitoring until patient meets discharge criteria.

This environment is fast-paced and requires attention to detail. The role requires critical thinking, time management, multi-tasking, and the ability to function autonomously.

All RNs are trained to interpret ECG rhythms and will be expected to attain ACLS certification within their first 3-6 months of employment.
