RN - Allergy (Pasadena)

Description

The Registered Nurse (RN) Allergy is responsible

and accountable for providing comprehensive nursing care to an assigned

patient population through the nursing process, in accordance with

professional nursing standards and organizational policies.

The RN practices in the ambulatory care setting in

accordance with the American Nurses Association (ANA) Standards of

Professional Nursing Practice and the American Academy of Ambulatory Care

Nursing (AAACN) Standards of Professional Ambulatory Care Nursing Practice.

The RN provides evidence-based care to adult and pediatric patients

consistent with current clinical practice guidelines. Responsibilities

include comprehensive patient assessment, care planning, care coordination,

allergy self-management education and support, patient and family education,

medication management, quality improvement, evidence-based practice,

interdisciplinary collaboration, patient advocacy, professional development,

and effective resource utilization to optimize health outcomes for patients

with allergy and immunologic conditions.

The RN provides care in compliance with applicable

federal and state laws, Nurse Practice Acts, accreditation and regulatory

requirements, organizational policies and procedures, and accepted

professional standards.

The RN performs and oversees allergy testing,

related treatments, and clinical procedures associated with the evaluation

and management of allergic and immunologic conditions. Responsibilities

include the safe administration and monitoring of allergen immunotherapy and

other prescribed therapies, patient assessment before and after procedures,

management of adverse reactions, comprehensive allergy self-management

education and support, care coordination across the interdisciplinary team,

and implementation of evidence-based interventions to optimize clinical

outcomes and improve patient health.

The RN functions with a high degree of clinical

autonomy under the medical direction of the physician, utilizing critical

thinking and clinical judgment to assess patients, identify changes in

condition, initiate appropriate nursing interventions, and escalate care when

indicated. The RN serves as a clinical resource for allergy and immunology

nursing practice and contributes to a safe, effective, and patient-centered

care environment.

The RN's primary work location will be the

assigned clinic; however, the position requires flexibility to travel and

patient care and education through telehealth and other remote care

modalities, as operationally required.
