Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) - Columbia County Medical Center Nurse Access

This nurse has a range of responsibilities that focus on providing patient care and support without being physically present in a healthcare facility. Some of the main responsibilities include management of medication refills, patient education, pre- and post-procedure/surgery care, patient results communication, and support for preventative care. While this role functions in a remote work setting, the nurse's responsibilities and essential functions are considered an extension of the practice, and the nurse remains accountable for the delivery of appropriate and timely patient care.

It is expected that all remote nurses are licensed, knowledgeable, and uphold the practice of nursing as outlined by the Georgia Professional Nurse Practice Act and implement the Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics Standards put forth by the American Nurses Association. It is expected that the individual upholds the voice of the patient, system policies, and procedures while supporting service excellence goals.
