• Provider Coordination: Efficiently brief the scheduled physician on patient stats, preparing the room and layout to maintain a smooth, timely clinic flow.

• Clinical Triage Support: Review and address focused clinical messages routed to you by the front desk, answering patient questions regarding symptoms, medication side effects, or bowel prep issues under provider guidance.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Active, unrestricted Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license in the State of New York.

• Proven clinical competency in peripheral IV insertion.

• Background in gastroenterology, endoscopy, or an infusion clinic setting is highly preferred.

• Exceptional skill in medication reconciliation, baseline assessments, and electronic health record (EHR) documentation.

To ensure the clinical team thrives, the company maintains a strict boundary between administrative and clinical roles. They have a fully staffed, dedicated front-desk team that handles all phone queues, patient check-ins, copay collections, and administrative paperwork. As an Intake Nurse at the practice, you will never be pulled up front to cover reception, answer general phone lines, or file charts. This allows you to focus 100% of your time and energy on your clinical nursing craft.
