Under the intermittent supervision of the Ambulatory Nursing Services Manager, the Ambulatory Nursing RN provides direct and indirect patient care in the ambulatory/primary care setting. The RN assesses patients using nursing judgement and appropriate screening protocols to determine unmet healthcare needs. They apply nursing diagnoses to define unmet needs and organize interventions to address identified needs, including facilitating referrals, obtaining medical orders, or providing education and case management support for the patient. The RN effectively communicates identified needs and the care plan with the multidisciplinary care team—including providers, pharmacists, dieticians, social workers, support groups, and more.
