Metairie, Louisiana, United States Magnet Medical Full time

Establish a career with Magnet Medical as a highly skilled Travel Nurse RN, specializing in the care of patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplants.

Job Overview
  • Duties include patient assessment, administration of treatments, managing complications, providing education, and supporting both patients and their families throughout the transplant process.

A Registered Nurse (RN) – Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) plays a critical role in patient care, working with hematologic disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers. This position requires expertise in hematology, oncology nursing, and transplant care.

Key Responsibilities:

Patient Assessment and Care:

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments of patients before, during, and after their bone marrow transplant, evaluating overall health, lab results, vital signs, and organ function.
  • Monitor for early signs of complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infections, and organ rejection.
  • Document the patient's condition, including symptoms like fever, pain, or weakness, and notify the healthcare team of significant changes.
  • Perform routine assessments to monitor blood counts, fluid status, and nutritional needs.

Bone Marrow Transplant Administration:

  • Administer chemotherapy, immunosuppressive agents, and growth factors as part of the preparatory regimen for stem cell or bone marrow transplantation.
  • Coordinate the infusion of the bone marrow or stem cells, ensuring correct stem cell product, patient identification, and monitoring of infusion reactions.
  • Manage the administration of blood products (e.g., red blood cells, platelets) as needed for patients with low blood counts after the transplant.

Management of Post-Transplant Care:

  • Monitor and manage post-transplant complications, including infections, bleeding, and organ dysfunction.
  • Administer medications to manage pain, nausea, infections, and other symptoms that may arise following transplant.
  • Monitor for early signs of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and collaborate with the healthcare team for early intervention.
  • Provide care for patients in the neutropenic phase, using strict infection control precautions to minimize the risk of infection.

Patient Education:

  • Educate patients and their families about the transplant process, including the procedure itself, potential complications, recovery timeline, and post-transplant care.
  • Teach patients how to recognize signs of infection, GVHD, and other complications, and instruct them on when to seek medical help.
  • Provide guidance on managing medications, side effects, and symptoms such as pain and fatigue.
  • Educate patients about the importance of nutritional support, fluid balance, and emotional well-being during the transplant process.

Collaboration and Care Coordination:

  • Closely collaborate with hematologists, oncologists, transplant surgeons, social workers, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals to develop individualized care plans.
  • Coordinate care with the transplant team, ensuring timely administration of chemotherapy, stem cell infusions, and follow-up evaluations.
  • Assist in the development of discharge plans, including follow-up care, outpatient appointments, and post-discharge instructions.

Psycho-Social Support:

  • Provide emotional support to patients and families, addressing concerns related to the transplant process, side effects, prognosis, and long-term recovery.
  • Offer support during difficult decision-making moments, including discussions of treatment options, advanced directives, and palliative care if needed.
  • Connect patients with support groups, counselors, and other resources to help them cope with the emotional impact of the transplant journey.

Infection Control and Safety:

  • FOLLOW STRICT INFECTION CONTROL PROCEDURES
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of patient assessments, treatments, medications, and progress in the medical record.
  • Report any adverse events, side effects, or complications to the physician and other relevant members of the healthcare team.
  • Ensure all documentation complies with legal and regulatory standards for bone marrow transplant care.

Estimated Salary Range:

$120,000 - $180,000 per year, based on 36 hours of work per week and considering the location and requirements of the job.
