Responsibilities

Location: Surgical Services – Saint Marys Campus - Trauma, Crit Care, Gen Surg

The registered nurse (RN) is accountable for the coordination of nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family. The RN will function within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model, which includes accountability for planning, implementing, evaluating and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients. The ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice provide a basis for the practice of the RN. The RN provides leadership through activities such as preceptor role, informal and formal leadership roles, and quality improvement efforts. The RN delegates patient care according to skill level, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability and availability of resources. The RN possesses excellent communication skills; is skillful in mentoring and teaching; and may participate on committees or projects. The Master's in Nursing-prepared nurse possesses the ability to access current and relevant data needed to answer questions identified in nursing practice. Utilization of new knowledge to analyze the outcomes of nursing interventions, to initiate change and to improve practice will be primary practice components. Computer hardware and appropriate software skills will be utilized in reviewing sources of evidence. Primary responsibility is to advance patient care directly in the role of expert clinical practitioner and indirectly in the relationship-based caring model roles. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as a part of the responsibility of their role.

This role is eligible for TN sponsorship. Successful sponsorship will require state licensure and completion of the VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
