About The Position

A Registered Nurse (RN) – GI Lab provides specialized nursing care to patients undergoing gastrointestinal (GI) procedures, including endoscopies, colonoscopies, and other diagnostic or therapeutic treatments related to the digestive system. The RN works in a GI Lab (or endoscopy suite) alongside gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals to ensure safe, efficient, and compassionate care for patients. This role involves patient assessments, preparation, assisting with procedures, post-procedural monitoring, and education.

Key Responsibilities :

Pre-Procedure Patient Assessment :

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments of patients prior to GI procedures, including reviewing medical history, allergies, and any contraindications for sedation or anesthesia.
  • Verify informed consent and educate patients on the procedure, including risks, benefits, and any preparation required (e.g., fasting, bowel prep).
  • Assess vital signs and perform pre-procedural checks to ensure the patient is stable for the procedure.

Preparation for GI Procedures :

  • Prepare patients for GI procedures, including explaining the procedure and addressing any patient concerns to reduce anxiety.
  • Administer prescribed medications, including sedatives, analgesics, or contrast agents, and monitor for adverse reactions.
  • Position patients appropriately for procedures, ensuring both comfort and proper access for the procedure.
  • Ensure all necessary equipment, supplies, and instruments are ready and sterile for the procedure.
  • Assisting with GI Procedures :

  • Assist gastroenterologists and endoscopy specialists during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as endoscopies (e.g., upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy) and other procedures like biopsies or polyp removals.
  • Monitor and manage patients during the procedure, ensuring their comfort and safety, including sedation levels, oxygenation, and vital signs.
  • Respond to any complications or adverse reactions during procedures, including nausea, bleeding, or respiratory distress.
  • Post-Procedure Care and Monitoring :

  • Monitor patients post-procedure for adverse reactions, complications (e.g., bleeding, perforation), and recovery from sedation or anesthesia.
  • Assess vital signs, oxygenation levels, and consciousness levels during the recovery phase.
  • Provide wound care for biopsy sites or areas that may have been treated during the procedure.
  • Ensure the patient is stable and ready for discharge, providing post-procedure instructions, including care for any biopsy sites, signs of complications, and follow-up appointments.
  • Patient Education :

  • Educate patients on preparation for future procedures, including bowel preparation for colonoscopies or dietary restrictions for certain tests.
  • Provide information on post-procedure care, including managing discomfort, avoiding certain activities, and understanding when to seek medical attention for complications.
  • Address any questions or concerns patients or family members may have regarding the procedure, results, or next steps in treatment.
  • Infection Control and Safety :

  • Adhere to strict infection control protocols, including sterilization of equipment, proper disposal of contaminated materials, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Ensure aseptic techniques are maintained during the procedure, including handling endoscopes, biopsy tools, and other medical instruments.
  • Follow hospital and procedural guidelines for cleaning and sterilizing GI equipment between patient uses.
  • Documentation and Reporting :

  • Document all nursing assessments, medications, interventions, and patient responses in the electronic health record (EHR) in a timely and accurate manner.
  • Report any adverse events, complications, or changes in the patient's condition to the physician and the rest of the healthcare team.
  • Complete required documentation for billing, patient history, consent, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Collaborate with gastroenterologists, endoscopy technologists, anesthesia providers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal patient care.
  • Communicate effectively with patients, their families, and the healthcare team regarding procedures, potential risks, and care plans.
  • Participate in team meetings to discuss patient progress, concerns, and procedural adjustments as needed.
  • Quality Improvement and Continuing Education :

  • Participate in quality improvement initiatives to enhance patient outcomes, safety, and the efficiency of the GI lab procedures.
  • Stay updated on the latest advances in gastrointestinal care, nursing practices, and procedures, including new technologies and techniques in endoscopy.
  • Attend continuing education sessions to maintain professional certifications and stay current with best practices in GI nursing.
