DESCRIPTION

UC San Diego Health is proud to be a four-time Magnet-designated organization and has now earned Magnet with Distinction from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet is the gold standard for nursing excellence, achieved by only about 10% of hospitals worldwide. Magnet with Distinction is awarded to the highest-performing Magnet organizations, with only a select few earning this prestigious honor. This recognition reflects our commitment to transformational leadership, professional nursing excellence, innovation, exceptional patient outcomes, and an empowering practice environment where nurses thrive.

We are looking for dynamic oncology clinic RNs with strong critical thinking, communication, care coordination and patient advocacy skills to join our Multi-Specialty Clinic team. The Multi-Specialty Clinic RN coordinates care and treatments, has primary care and nursing duties involving complete oncology care for patients and their families, and acts as a liaison with other departments to coordinate patient treatment and care. Other duties include: develop, interpret, evaluate, implement, and document plan of care for the patients, provide specific teaching, counseling, consultation, and nursing care both independently and as directed by the physician or advanced practitioner.

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.
