RN, Field Home Infusion

The OHSU registered nurse (RN) provides compassionate, evidence-based, and efficient care to individuals, families, communities and patient populations. The RN’s care delivery is consistent with the Oregon Nurse Practice Act, the ANA Scope and Standards of Practice, and the ANA Code of Ethics and meets the standards/expectations of a Professional Practice Model. In that model, the RN demonstrates the professional role obligations of scientist, leader, practitioner, and knowledge transferor.

Professional accountability enriches the RN’s engagement as a leader in promoting an inter-professional culture of collaborative decision-making, innovation, life-long learning, and teamwork.

 

 

Home Infusion Nurses provide comprehensive care to home infusion patients in a community setting, including, but not limited to, the administration of antibiotics, immunologics, TPN, biologics, various specialty medications and supportive care therapies. The RN will be required to travel to the patient’s

home (or agreed upon setting) and provide infusion therapy. The nurse is responsible to coordinate care, utilizing the primary nurse model and ensure the patient and family are receiving OHSU’s highest quality of nursing care. This nurse should be available to work Monday through Friday and is expected to be part of the On-Call rotation -which includes overnight, holidays, and weekend coverages.
