Job Description:
Overview
Clinic nurses at MercyOne Des Moines, now part
of CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiative
and Dignity Health,
aid patients from the moment they enter the clinic
by collecting patient information, supporting patient
evaluation, administering treatments and medications as needed, and
educating patients.
Nurses are among the most critical and important professionals in
the healthcare world. It is the nurse who works directly with
patients to ensure their needs are being carefully met with every
interaction.
Every day you must have the patient as your number one focus as you
work to coordinate compassionate patient care.
To thrive in this role you must
be able to think on your feet and remain calm in stressful
situations so you can provide emotional support to patients and
clinical support to physicians.
As a clinic nurse, you communicate with patients and their
caregivers, acting as a "clinical concierge" throughout their
entire clinic experience to ensure a positive
experience.
Clinic nurses work closely with patients throughout the intake
process to help doctors develop treatment plans and strategies. The
clinic nurse asks patients questions about current symptoms,
medical histories, and medications to provide doctors with a
complete understanding of a patient’s current medical needs and
background.
Many of a clinic nurse’s duties involve providing direct support
and assistance for the facility’s doctors. A clinic nurse may
prepare equipment or other instruments for a doctor or assist with
procedures during a patient’s stay. This aspect of the role
requires a clinic nurse to rapidly shift between tasks and duties
depending on where doctors need the most assistance. Degree:
