Endoscopy RN

What you'll do as an Endoscopy RN

You're the nurse in charge of the Endoscopy suites. That means you're handling patient assessments, administering meds, and documenting everything as it happens. You get patients prepped for their procedure and make sure they understand what's coming ; both the clinical side and the emotional support side.

You'll set up all the equipment before each procedure. Afterward, you clean and sterilize it yourself. You're also monitoring patients throughout endoscopic or pain management procedures, keeping a close watch on how they're doing under anesthesia. And you need to confirm that every consent form and piece of pre procedure paperwork is complete before anything starts.

• Complete an age appropriate assessment of each patient when they arrive at the surgical suite
• Initiate the plan of care by properly preparing the patient for surgery
• Provide teaching and emotional support for surgical patients
