Empower health. Serve with empathy. Make an impact.

Position Overview

As a Clinical Nurse Specialist, you will provide expert clinical guidance for all facets of patient care within an acute inpatient environment, emphasizing patient and family-centered approaches. You will demonstrate clinical proficiency by employing evidence-based methodologies across all stages of the nursing process: assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and outcomes. Your role will involve integrating knowledge of safety protocols, cost management, and quality enhancement throughout the nursing continuum. You will identify priorities at the patient, unit, and organizational levels and incorporate these into your nursing practice.

Compliance with all organizational policies and procedures is essential, including but not limited to: licensure renewal, mandatory training, employee health assessments, attendance policies, dress code, patient confidentiality, infection control, and medication administration. You will maintain awareness of regulatory agency standards (TJC, DHEC, CMS) and provide care in accordance with the South Carolina Nurse Practice Act.

Key Responsibilities

Assessment:

Conduct comprehensive nursing assessments using appropriate standards and tools tailored to specific areas and age groups. Recognize and document subtle or significant changes in patient conditions and responses to interventions. Establish nursing priorities for the patient care plan based on assessments and collaborate with healthcare team members to validate these priorities.

Planning/Outcomes:

Create individualized care plans that reflect the age and assessed needs of patients, collaborating with patients, families, providers, and interdisciplinary team members. Adjust care plans based on evolving patient conditions and communicate these changes effectively to the healthcare team. Set realistic and measurable goals for discharge and ensure continuity of care.

Implementation:

Deliver direct patient care in alignment with established nursing plans. Execute specific tasks in accordance with organizational policies and within the RN scope of practice. Delegate nursing responsibilities appropriately and ensure task completion while monitoring the quality of care provided.

Evaluation:

Regularly assess and reassess patient responses to interventions, evaluating the effectiveness of care plans and documenting progress toward goals. Address changes in patient conditions promptly and collaborate with the healthcare team to resolve issues.

Patient and Family Education:

Identify and assess the educational needs of patients and families, providing tailored teaching that incorporates familiar language and examples. Engage patients and families in the learning process and communicate their educational needs to the broader healthcare team.

Professional Accountability:

Reflect on your nursing practice in relation to established standards, regulations, and current knowledge. Maintain professional licensure and pursue ongoing education to enhance competency. Advocate for patients and coordinate care collaboratively with other healthcare professionals.

Associate's Degree in Nursing is required; a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is preferred. A minimum of one year of experience as a registered nurse is necessary.
