Job Description:
As an Intermediate Care (IMC) Registered Nurse (RN), you will
provide specialized nursing care to patients who require a higher
level of monitoring and intervention than general medical-surgical
patients but do not require intensive care unit (ICU) level care.
You will assess, monitor, and manage patients' conditions,
collaborating with healthcare teams to ensure timely and effective
patient care. Key Responsibilities: Patient Assessment and
Monitoring: Perform comprehensive assessments of patients' health
status upon admission and throughout their stay in the IMC unit.
Monitor vital signs, cardiac rhythms, oxygenation levels, and other
physiological parameters, identifying changes and responding
promptly to acute conditions. Clinical Care and Interventions:
Administer medications, IV fluids, and treatments as prescribed,
ensuring accuracy in dosage, administration, and monitoring of
therapeutic responses. Perform complex nursing procedures such as
managing ventilated patients, administering blood products, and
titrating vasoactive medications under physician supervision.
Critical Thinking and Decision Making: Utilize clinical judgment
and critical thinking skills to assess patient conditions,
prioritize care needs, and initiate appropriate interventions.
Collaborate with physicians and healthcare team members to develop
and modify patient care plans based on ongoing assessments and
patient responses. Patient and Family Education: Educate patients
and families about medical conditions, treatment plans,
medications, and self-care strategies to promote recovery and
prevent complications. Provide emotional support and address
concerns, ensuring patients and families are informed and involved
in decision-making processes. Documentation and Communication:
Maintain accurate and timely documentation of nursing assessments,
interventions, and patient responses in electronic medical records
(EMRs). Communicate effectively with interdisciplinary team
members, including physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists,
and case managers, to coordinate care plans and ensure continuity
of care. Quality Assurance and Compliance: Adhere to hospital
policies, protocols, and standards of nursing practice to promote
patient safety and quality of care. Participate in quality
improvement initiatives, patient safety rounds, and
interdisciplinary rounds to enhance clinical outcomes and patient
satisfaction. Emergency Response and Crisis Management: Respond to
medical emergencies and crises within the IMC unit, initiating
rapid interventions and stabilizing patients until higher-level
care can be provided if needed. Maintain proficiency in Advanced
Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and other emergency procedures relevant
to IMC patient care. Professional Development and Collaboration:
Pursue continuing education and professional development
opportunities to expand clinical knowledge and stay current with
advancements in IMC nursing practice. Foster a collaborative work
environment, supporting teamwork, mutual respect, and effective
communication among healthcare team members.
