Registered Nurse - South County

Registered Nurse (RN)
About the Role
Are you a Registered Nurse who thrives as part of a collaborative, mission-driven care team? At Thundermist Health Center, you’ll deliver culturally competent care to patients from birth through late adulthood across areas like family medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, medication-assisted treatment, trans health, and behavioral health. On any given day you’ll triage calls, manage nurse visits, administer vaccines and treatments, and serve as a go-to clinical resource for medical assistants and providers. If you’re passionate about health equity and want to make a real difference in underserved communities, this is the team for you.
What You’ll Do
You’ll use your clinical judgment every day across a wide scope of nursing practice, supported by a multidisciplinary team.

• Evaluate and assess patient healthcare needs and determine appropriate disposition, whether that’s a provider appointment, urgent care, the ER, or self-care guidance.
• Triage phone calls using up-to-date telephonic triage protocols, promptly prioritizing patient needs.
• Perform proactive chart reviews in anticipation of provider and patient needs, and huddle with providers and MAs as needed.
• Accurately obtain and document vital signs including weight, blood pressure, BMI, pain assessment, and temperature.
• Assess patients for potential communicable diseases and implement infection-control precautions.
Direct Patient Care & Clinical Support
• Perform nurse visits and provide evidence-based health education at a level appropriate for each patient.
• Administer vaccines, injections, and provider-ordered treatments such as dressing changes and respiratory treatments.
• Support obstetric patients with pre-natal and post-natal care, triage, and education via in-person and telephonic visits.

• Provide family planning and HIV counseling and documentation in accordance with Title X guidelines.
• Support trans health and behavioral health needs as part of integrated primary care.
• Perform medication reconciliation and process prescriptions per established workflows.

Coordination & Documentation

• Notify patients of test results under provider guidance, offer education, and assess patient understanding.
• Develop and implement nursing care plans based on patient evaluations.
• Receive and verify verbal orders from providers, ensuring accuracy.
• Maintain clear communication with supervisors, providers, and team members.
• Utilize electronic medical record alerts, standing orders, and SOPs to support efficient, high-quality care.
