UC San Diego Health is a Magnet‑designated organization, a prestigious recognition that applies to only 10% of all U.S. hospitals. Magnet is the “gold standard” for nursing excellence based on strengths in five key areas: transformational leadership, structural empowerment, exemplary professional practice, new knowledge, innovation and improvements, and empirical outcomes. UC San Diego Health has held its Magnet status since 2011.

This position is in a fast‑paced multi‑specialty clinic that includes Heart Failure, EP, Interventional cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Pulmonary patients. The clinic nurse role includes direct patient care in clinic and ongoing care coordination for symptom management, prescription refills and other patient needs. Additional duties include telephonic triage for our cardiovascular clinics, handling urgent symptom calls, medication management, plan of care and emergent prescription refills.

The RN coordinates same‑day appointment visits to reduce emergency room utilization and hospital readmission rates. Autonomous nursing care is the ability to assess and provide nursing actions as appropriate based on competence, professional expertise, and knowledge. The nurse is expected to practice autonomously consistent with ANA Standards of Practice and Professional Performance and exercise independent judgment within interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care.
