Job description

Description:

  • The registered nurse is responsible for assisting in the accurate and appropriate assessment of the patient pre and post-op as well as managing patient complications by applying the experience and education of a registered nurse.
  • We refer to our registered nurses and medical assistants as "Clinical Specialists" (CS's), because they are not "assistants".
  • There are four different roles for our Clinical Specialists. There is the CS1 (Pre- and Post-Procedure), CS2 (Patient Consults), CS3 (1st Assistant to Physician Proceduralist) and CS4 (Procedure Room Circulator). Each CS is a valuable member of the procedure team.
  • The registered nurse will act as a Clinical Specialist 1 and 2.
  • 100% outpatient position -- no hospital work, no call.
  • May be required to train at other clinical positions in the clinic, to help cross-cover as needed.
  • We offer a comprehensive training program

CS1 Responsibilities:

  • The CS1s are responsible for patient pre-procedure prep, including: verifying the Medical Hx, medications, placing IV’s, obtaining baseline vitals and pedal pulses, preparing the groin for access, and meticulously documenting all information in our EMR.
  • Responsible for recovering the patient post-procedure, including: monitoring vital signs and access site, assuring hemostasis, obtaining pulses, discharging the patient home, again documenting all information meticulously in our EMR, and assessing inventory to verify that clinical supplies related to the procedures are at par levels.
  • The CS1 position requires a strong grasp of medical knowledge, confidence, attention to detail, equanimity (cool under pressure), and excellent communication and customer service skills to interact with both patients and family.
  • Must be able to work in cooperation with the rest of the Procedure Team including the Proceduralist Physician, CRNAs, and other Clinical Specialists.

CS2 Responsibilities:

  • The CS2 is an integral part of the 3-person Consult Team. The other two Team Members consist of the NP and the US tech.
  • A brief summary of how the consultation flow works: After the US tech sees the patients and performs the appropriate scans, the CS2 will begin the patient consultation that will consist of: Obtaining a detailed H&P, medication list, performing ABIs, taking vital signs, taking photos of any wounds, and patient completion of patient charting/documentation.
  • After patient interview has been completed, the CS2 must relay all information in a detailed, but brief manner to the NP that will further highlight if the patient is overall a possible candidate to proceed with a PAD procedure/intervention.
  • Once patient is on board with procedure and all questions have been answered, the CS2 will proceed with collecting necessary blood specimen via venipuncture for further pre-procedural testing.
  • It is important to be a well rounded customer-service-driven individual with the ability to maintain attention to details in a fast-paced environment to avoid errors and provide the best possible patient experience.

Requirements:

  • RN with OBL, Cath Lab, ICU, ER, or OR experience
  • 50/50 travel between Brownsville and Edinburg is required
  • Spanish fluency
  • 4-6 weeks training period, some travel may be required for this. This, along with our faster pace and higher performance standards is why we pay so much more than other comparable jobs
  • A+ customer service-oriented attitude, charisma, and excellent bedside manner.
  • Meticulous documentation in our EMR is required, so strong English language skills are important.
  • Our top performers earn at the higher end of the pay scale
  • Tech savviness
  • Drug screens and background check
  • Maturity, good judgement, and a proactive mind, anticipate and preempt problems (rather than simply react to them)
  • Spirit of continuous improvement -- strive to grow, improve, and learn... both professionally and personally, every single day, and to help the Company do the same
  • All employees are expected to perform as an integral part of the PADS team, and to provide supplemental support as requested, required, or assigned.
  • Initial 60-day Compatibility Period (CP) at 80% full pay rate and no benefits. Upon completion of this CP, pay goes to 100% and full benefits kick-in.
