Responsibilities

The Ambulatory Registered Nurse (RN) is a vital member of the surgical team in the outpatient clinical setting, working alongside surgeons, residents, Nurse Practitioners/Physician Assistants (NPs/PAs), and other healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality patient care. The RN plays a key role in the preoperative and postoperative management of adult surgical patients within the Breast and Melanoma practice.

The RN's responsibilities include but are not limited to preoperative and postoperative patient evaluation and education along with reinforcement of the disease process and care management recommendations, coordination of multidisciplinary care including collaboration with other departments such as Breast Clinic, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology and Plastic Surgery and facilitation of non-face-to-face patient triage via phone and portal messaging. The RN also interacts extensively with the in basket and electronic health record system to manage orders, create surgical listings, and coordinate with other specialties involved in patient care as directed by the physician.

The RN role is key to the overall facilitation of patient management as directed by the surgeon and to ensure seamless patient care coordination. Strong interpersonal and communication skills, critical thinking abilities, and a commitment to patient education are essential. The RN must be well-organized, able to multitask effectively, and thrive in an autonomous yet collaborative team environment.

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. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as a part of the responsibility of their role.
