About the Job

A Registered Nurse (RN) – GI Lab provides specialized nursing care to patients undergoing gastrointestinal procedures. The RN works in a GI Lab (or endoscopy suite) alongside gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure safe, efficient, and compassionate care for patients.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Pre-Procedure Patient Assessment:
    • Conduct comprehensive assessments of patients prior to GI procedures, including reviewing medical history, allergies, and any contraindications for sedation or anesthesia.
    • Verify informed consent and educate patients on the procedure, including risks, benefits, and any preparation required.
    • Assess vital signs and perform pre-procedural checks to ensure the patient is stable for the procedure.
  • Preparation for GI Procedures:
    • Prepare patients for GI procedures, including explaining the procedure and addressing any patient concerns to reduce anxiety.
    • Administer prescribed medications, including sedatives, analgesics, or contrast agents, and monitor for adverse reactions.
    • Position patients appropriately for procedures, ensuring both comfort and proper access for the procedure.
    • Ensure all necessary equipment, supplies, and instruments are ready and sterile for the procedure.
  • Assisting with GI Procedures:
    • Assist gastroenterologists and endoscopy specialists during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as endoscopies (e.g., upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy) and other procedures like biopsies or polyp removals.
    • Monitor and manage patients during the procedure, ensuring their comfort and safety, including sedation levels, oxygenation, and vital signs.
    • Respond to any complications or adverse reactions during procedures, including nausea, bleeding, or respiratory distress.
  • Post-Procedure Care and Monitoring:
    • Monitor patients post-procedure for adverse reactions, complications (e.g., bleeding, perforation), and recovery from sedation or anesthesia.
    • Assess vital signs, oxygenation levels, and consciousness levels during the recovery phase.
    • Provide wound care for biopsy sites or areas that may have been treated during the procedure.
    • Ensure the patient is stable and ready for discharge, providing post-procedure instructions, including care for any biopsy sites, signs of complications, and follow-up appointments.
  • Patient Education:
    • Educate patients on preparation for future procedures, including bowel preparation for colonoscopies or dietary restrictions for certain tests.
    • Provide information on post-procedure care, including managing discomfort, avoiding certain activities, and understanding when to seek medical attention for complications.
    • Address any questions or concerns patients or family members may have regarding the procedure, results, or next steps in treatment.
  • Infection Control and Safety:
    • Adhere to strict infection control protocols, including sterilization of equipment, proper disposal of contaminated materials, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
    • Ensure aseptic techniques are maintained during the procedure, including handling endoscopes, biopsy tools, and other medical instruments.
    • Follow hospital and procedural guidelines for cleaning and sterilizing GI equipment between patient uses.
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    • Document all nursing assessments, medications, interventions, and patient responses in the electronic health record (EHR) in a timely and accurate manner.
    • Report any adverse events, complications, or changes in the patient's condition to the physician and the rest of the healthcare team.
    • Complete required documentation for billing, patient history, consent, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Collaboration and Communication:
    • Collaborate with gastroenterologists, endoscopy technologists, anesthesia providers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal patient care.
    • Communicate effectively with patients, their families, and the healthcare team regarding procedures, potential risks, and care plans.
    • Participate in team meetings to discuss patient progress, concerns, and procedural adjustments as needed.
  • Quality Improvement and Continuing Education:
    • Participate in quality improvement initiatives to enhance patient outcomes, safety, and the efficiency of the GI lab procedures.
    • Stay updated on the latest advances in gastrointestinal care, nursing practices, and procedures, including new technologies and techniques in endoscopy.
    • Attend continuing education sessions to maintain professional certifications and stay current with best practices in GI nursing.
