DESCRIPTION

UC San Diego Health is a Magnet designated organization, which is a prestigious recognition that applies to only 10% of all U.S. hospitals. Magnet is the "gold standard" for nursing excellence and is based on strengths in five key areas which include transformational leadership, structural empowerment, exemplary professional practice, new knowledge, innovation and improvements and empirical outcomes. UC San Diego Health has held its Magnet status since 2011.

Using the nursing process in the planning and delivery of care, the Registered Nurse (RN) complies with all regulations and standards of regulatory and accrediting bodies and maintains a safe level of knowledge and skills with technical procedures.

Autonomous nursing care is the ability of a nurse to assess and provide nursing actions as appropriate for patient care populations based on competence, professional expertise, and knowledge. The nurse is expected to practice autonomously consistent with ANA Standards of Practice and Professional Performance. Independent judgment is expected to be exercised within the context of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care

This RN will also be cross trained in the procedure room to ensure patient safety while providing pre-procedure, intra-procedure and post-procedure care for adult and pediatric patients undergoing brachytherapy and/or moderate sedation.
