We are seeking a skilled Nurse Transplant Specialist to join our team at Magnet Medical in Louisville, Kentucky. This 13-week contract position offers a competitive salary of $146,400 (based on 12 hour shifts and 36 hours per week), with a tax-free stipend amount to be determined.
About the JobAs a Nurse Transplant Specialist, you will provide comprehensive care to patients undergoing organ transplant procedures, both pre- and post-transplant. Your expertise will be invaluable in managing the complex medical needs of these patients, ensuring they receive optimal care throughout the transplant process.
Key Responsibilities:- Pre-Transplant Care:
- Assess and monitor patients being evaluated for organ transplantation, including reviewing medical history, conducting physical assessments, and ensuring necessary lab work and diagnostic tests are completed.
- Educate patients and families about the transplant process, including donor matching, organ availability, and expected outcomes.
- Coordinate with the transplant team to prepare patients for transplant surgery, ensuring that they understand the procedure, risks, and post-transplant care.
- Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to develop individualized care plans for transplant candidates.
- Post-Transplant Care:
- Provide comprehensive care to transplant recipients following surgery, including monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and assessing for complications such as infection, rejection, or graft failure.
- Administer immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, monitor for side effects, and educate patients on the importance of medication adherence.
- Assess and manage post-operative wound care, including the use of dressings, drains, and other necessary interventions.
- Monitor for early signs of organ rejection and inform the transplant team if rejection is suspected, assisting with biopsy procedures or additional diagnostic tests as needed.
- Patient Education and Support:
- Educate transplant recipients and their families on lifestyle modifications, medication management, and self-care to improve transplant outcomes and prevent complications.
- Teach patients about the importance of adhering to immunosuppressive therapy and regular follow-up appointments to ensure long-term success.
- Provide emotional and psychological support to patients and families, offering guidance through the transplant process and recovery.
- Prepare patients for discharge by ensuring they understand home care instructions, including medication regimens, infection prevention strategies, and when to seek medical help.
- Monitoring and Management:
- Monitor transplant patients for signs of complications, such as infection, rejection, or organ dysfunction, and respond to changes in patient condition.
- Regularly assess lab results (e.g., kidney or liver function tests, biopsy results) and make adjustments to care plans as needed.
- Perform routine checks on transplanted organs to ensure proper function, including monitoring vital signs, organ-specific parameters (e.g., urine output for kidney transplants), and laboratory values.
- Document and track patient progress, including transplant surgery outcomes, recovery milestones, and any issues requiring intervention.
- Collaboration with the Transplant Team:
- Work closely with the transplant surgeons, nephrologists, hepatologists, and other specialists to develop and adjust treatment plans for transplant recipients.
- Participate in multidisciplinary rounds to provide input on patient care and treatment plans.
- Communicate effectively with the transplant team regarding changes in patient condition, treatment responses, and patient progress.
- Follow-up Care and Long-Term Management:
- Ensure that transplant patients attend necessary follow-up appointments to monitor the success of the transplant and address any potential complications.
- Coordinate long-term care for transplant recipients, including routine lab work, imaging studies, and biopsies, to monitor for signs of rejection or complications.
- Assist in managing chronic conditions post-transplant, such as diabetes, hypertension, or infections, that may affect the transplant or overall health.
- Quality and Safety:
- Ensure adherence to transplant protocols, safety standards, and guidelines set by regulatory agencies, including the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the Joint Commission.
- Participate in quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing transplant patient outcomes and reducing complications.
- Ensure infection control practices are strictly followed, particularly during invasive procedures, to reduce the risk of infections in immunocompromised patients.
- Research and Continuing Education:
- Stay current with advances in transplant medicine, including new medications, technologies, and treatment protocols.
- Participate in continuing education and professional development opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills related to organ transplantation.
- Assist in research initiatives related to transplant care, outcomes, and new treatments to improve patient care.
