The RN Procedural Periop is responsible for providing high quality, skilled nursing services to assist patients to achieve optimum health, functional health status and safe passage while receiving an invasive or interventional procedure during an episodic or series of visits. This position is specifically for our Cardiovascular Diagnostics lab.  All patients have unique needs and experience these needs across wide ranges or continuums from health to illness. The more compromised patients are, the more severe or complex their needs. The dimensions of a nurse's practice are driven by the needs of a patient and family, which requires nurses to be proficient in multiple dimensions of nursing practice. Nurse competencies stem from patient needs and the characteristics of the nurse and patient synergies are when optimal patient outcomes can result. The  RN Procedural Periop may need to demonstrate technical expertise in the follow area: cardiac special procedural areas to support patient care during the episodic visit where interventions and procedures occur.

A goal of nursing is to utilize the nursing process to support a patient in achieving an optimal level of wellness as defined by the patient. Through skilled assessment and triage, education, collaboration and coordination of healthcare and community resources, the RN Procedural Periop assists patients to achieve optimum functional health status and safe passage throughout their procedural experience. The  RN Procedural Periop assists patients/families, staff and systems to achieve high quality, evidence-based, cost-effective, and patient-focused outcomes.

Nursing care provided by nurses that function in the interventional/procedural areas reflects the nursing process through an integration of knowledge, skills, experience, and attitudes needed to meet the needs of patients and families.
