Registered Nurse (RN) — The registered nurse is accountable for the coordination of all nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education and discharge planning. The RN practices professional nursing across practice settings and the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family. Responsibilities include assessing, planning, implementing, evaluating and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients. RNs provide leadership through roles such as preceptor and team leader, and through our Shared Decision-Making Model.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) — The licensed practical nurse serves as a member of the health care team by providing nursing care under the supervision of the nurse or physician in an outpatient setting.

Clinical Research Coordinator — The clinical research coordinator works collaboratively with the health care team and external pharmaceutical and/or medical device companies. Coordinators also monitor clinical research studies to ensure that all protocol requirements are met, including screening and recruitment of eligible patients, patient education and follow-up, preparation of case report forms, accurate protocol documentation, and drug accountability.

Ambulatory Procedural RN — The procedural registered nurse works in the ambulatory setting with both clinic and hospital patients during diagnostic procedures, treatments and recovery room visits under the supervision of a physician.
