JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

CENTER FOR TALENTED YOUTH

SITE NURSE

All staff members are expected to adhere to the CTY Standards of Employee Conduct; contribute positively to a living and learning community; ensure students' physical and emotional safety; uphold the CTY Student Code of Conduct and enforce site rules; and perform reasonable job duties, even if not part of the job description, as assigned by their supervisors.

The site nurse is responsible for overseeing medical issues at the site. The position is both administrative and clinical. Primary duties include reviewing student medical forms; overseeing the dispensation of student prescription and nonprescription medications; conferring with parents/guardians; assessing and treating student illnesses and injuries; and making referrals and acting as a liaison to nearby clinics, physician's offices, and/or hospitals.

At most residential program sites, and some day sites, the site nurse receives assistance with record-keeping and clerical duties from a health assistant(s), who has first aid and CPR training. At residential sites, health assistant(s) often accompany students to off- campus medical appointments and may also assist with tasks such as student medication distribution and providing basic first aid.

The site nurse is a member of the site administration. All members of the site administration are expected to:

• Work as a team, keeping program goals in sight while managing a range of details.

• Help set the appropriate tone for the community, as described in staff handbooks and other program documents.

• Anticipate and prevent problems.

• Communicate promptly, clearly, sensitively, and securely with other administrators, staff, students, parents/guardians, the host institution, and the CTY office in Baltimore using JHU-approved platforms.

• Help the academic and residential/recreational programs collaborate effectively.

• Model professionalism.

• Represent the philosophy and policies of CTY in a manner that fosters cooperation and respect among summer staff, students, host institution staff, and full-time CTY staff throughout the program.

Supervision

The site nurse is supervised directly by the site director and indirectly by the site's program manager and assistant program manager. The site nurse provides medical care according to a physician's standing orders and authorizations provided on the students' medical forms. At the request of the site director, the site nurse may be responsible for some supervision of the health assistants in relation to the day-to-day logistics of the health office. At some sites, an assistant site director or dean of operations may supervise the site nurse in conjunction with the site director.

Work Schedule and Physical Requirements

At residential sites, the site nurse holds office hours according to a schedule determined in advance by the site program manager. Nurses' schedules vary significantly by site but may include being on call 24 hours a day and evening and weekend shifts. Site nurses work on student check-in day on the Sunday immediately prior to the start of each session. They have one day off per three-week session when they are not on call, which must be approved in conjunction with the site director. Commuting nurses at residential sites adhere to schedules agreed upon in advance with the site program manager. They typically work on student check-in day, and their schedules may also include overnight, weekend, and on-call obligations. Health offices are typically staffed from 7 a.m. to 30 minutes after lights out by a nurse and/or health assistant.

At day sites, the site nurse generally works Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Hours may be 8 a.m. -4:30 p.m. in cases in which the site nurse is not required for appropriate health coverage for before- and after-care. Additional hours may be required on busy workdays, as well as in the evenings and on weekends as needed to complete paperwork and other administrative tasks. Nurses also work on student check-in day on the weekend immediately prior to the start of each session, as well as the Saturday at the end of each session, if needed. The exact schedule may vary from site to site and is determined by the site director in conjunction with the site program manager.

Site nurses are required to travel and navigate a college/school campus with or without accommodations. This may include traversing some long distances across campus. Some lifting and moving may be required.
