Per Diem Psychiatry Staff Nurse (cornell)

Job Description

Student and Campus Life (SCL) inspires transformation in all Cornell students on their journey of individual, academic and personal evolution. Our division is comprised of leading student affairs experts who support our campus on pressing student life matters including public service, health, wellness, social justice, residential living, food services, sports, recreation, career services, and student activities and organizations including sorority and fraternity life. We provide support and services to roughly 25,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students on multiple campuses in the U.S. and abroad.

Cornell Health's more than 200 employees collaborate to provide integrated and culturally-sensitive mental health, medical, health promotion, public health, student accommodations, and occupational medicine care and services. Dually focused on holistic health of Cornell students and well-being of the larger campus community, the unit supports readiness to learn, to participate fully in the Cornell experience, and to achieve academic, work, and life success. Cornell Health is nationally recognized for innovation and leadership, and is committed to an ongoing journey toward integrated, cost-effective, and community-based services and campus health initiatives.

Cornell Health’s Medical Services is a collaborative, vibrant, innovative, inter-professional department which provides holistic clinical care to address students’ biopsychosocial needs. Working collaboratively with other Cornell Health departments, medical staff aspire to a data-driven approach to provide high-quality, accessible, cost-effective, culturally-sensitive, and developmentally-appropriate care and services to Cornell’s student population, meeting the routine and urgent needs of patients.

   

The Per Diem Psychiatry Staff Nurse assists students in gaining access to the right level of care to assess and support their psychotropic medication management needs. This not only includes supporting students being seen by our own psychiatry providers, but also assessing needs of students who may be scheduled to see a PCP, a telehealth vendor, or a community provider. In varying duration and frequency, registered Psychiatry Staff Nurses can expect to: answer patient medical questions (in-person, by telehealth, or by phone), independently perform nursing procedures, provide patient teaching as needed, document patient interactions in electronic health record (maintaining confidentiality) and use university and community resources for patient care and referrals. Nurses are a liaison to clinicians and other Cornell Health clinical services, and may assist in the training of new clinical staff as needed.

Cornell Health Psychiatry Nursing staff are most successful when they can:

• Focus on supporting students in meeting their psychotropic medication needs through a complex web of internal and external referral resources
• Be a team player who enjoys working collaboratively with professionals from different healthcare disciplines and respecting the unique strengths each brings to the healthcare system
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment with information coming from multiple sources, triaging priorities, and balancing the task at hand with providing good customer service
• Live into our values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging throughout their work with students and colleagues
• Offer strong organizational skills and customer service orientation.
• Evaluate concerns, make decisions and effectively communicate the course with others and managing issues as necessary.
• Experience with an Electronic Health Record and Microsoft office applications.     
• Experience working directly with people from diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
• Display passion about working in an organization that values and promotes diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and wellbeing.
• Serve as an advocate for individuals of all ethnicities, genders, ages, and backgrounds. 
• Cultivate and develop inclusive and equitable working relationships with students, faculty, staff, and community members. 

Please Note: There is no visa sponsorship for this position.
