Registered Nurse - GIH Hepatobiliary Clinic - RN

The Registered Nurse (RN) in this dynamic multidisciplinary clinic collaborates daily with physicians, advanced practice providers, RNs and other allied health care staff members to provide care through a team approach for patients traveling from the region, across the nation, or internationally to Mayo Clinic Rochester. The GIH Hepatobiliary Clinic cares for patients who have a diagnosis or need management of complex hepatobiliary diseases.

In the GIH Hepatobiliary Clinic, the RN provides direct care to patients utilizing face to face onsite visits, patient visits via telehealth video or phone, and indirect, non-visit care. Patient visits may include a review of patient health issues, medication review and patient education. Non-visit care and management of patients occurs within the EHR (electronic health record) and over the phone. In this capacity, RNs provide patient education, medication management, follow-up care, outcome management, phone triage and assessment of patient symptom-based inquiries. This can specifically include lab monitoring for HB/Hep C patients as well and ordering and assisting with scheduling of paracentesis procedures. Innovative responsibilities include monitoring patients enrolled in the Cirrhosis Interactive Care Plan and identifying admitted cirrhosis patients that should be enrolled in the Remote Patient Monitoring program. This role requires expert critical thinking, time management, multi-tasking, flexibility, and the ability to function autonomously in an unpredictable environment. There may be an opportunity for hybrid/remote work after successful completion of orientation and training. 

The RN in the GIH Hepatobiliary Clinic works collaboratively with the specialized multidisciplinary care team to provide high quality systematic care for patients. The ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice and the AAACN Ambulatory Care Nursing Administration and Practice Standards provide a basis for the practice of the registered nurse in the ambulatory setting. The RN must possess excellent communication and critical thinking skills, be able to independently practice in accordance with procedural guidelines, be skillful in mentoring and teaching, actively participate on committees or projects and function within the Mayo Nursing Care Model ( http://nursing.mayo.edu/nursing-care-model/), which includes accountability for planning, implementing, evaluating, and communicating all phases of nursing care for patients. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family.
