Duke Health is a renowned healthcare system driven by a steadfast commitment to compassionate care that positively impacts the lives of patients, their families, and the broader community. As a prestigious health institution, Duke Health integrates primary and specialty outpatient services throughout North Carolina, encompassing more than 110 clinics under the Duke Health Integrated Practice (DHIP) network. Their mission extends beyond treatment, aiming to improve health collaboratively through innovation, research, and a patient-centered approach. Duke Health fosters a work environment where healthcare professionals, regardless of their expertise or role, contribute to advancing health care together while focusing on excellence, compassion, and inclusivity.
Duke Health Integrated Practice is a vital part of this system, representing a broad network of outpatient clinics that deliver accessible and coordinated care across multiple specialties. Within this ambitious and expanding network, Duke Signature Care stands as a primary care provider, located conveniently in Durham, NC. Duke Signature Care offers a team-oriented approach to health, embracing the values and standards set by Duke Health to ensure superior patient outcomes and satisfaction.
The role of Clinical Nurse II at Duke Signature Care is an integral position within this team, offering an exciting opportunity for experienced nursing professionals to actively engage in providing high-quality ambulatory care. This position involves independent planning and delivery of professional nursing care, consistent with established medical and nursing plans of care, policies, and procedures. The Clinical Nurse II functions within the scope defined by the North Carolina Board of Nursing and provides services not only to patients but also supports their families with educational and emotional assistance.
Key responsibilities for this role include conducting patient assessments, managing telephone triage, coordinating care needs, and assisting providers during clinical procedures such as pap smears and wound care. The nurse also handles critical administrative duties like managing prescription refills, handling medical documentation, and ensuring compliance with infection control and safety protocols. This role demands clinical proficiency in diverse nursing interventions, from administering medications and performing EKGs to phlebotomy and patient education.
The Clinical Nurse II participates actively in daily team huddles to coordinate care plans efficiently and contributes to ongoing professional development by maintaining necessary certifications and competencies. The role schedules patient visits, manages supplies and equipment, and ensures a safe clinical environment. This care provision spans acute and chronic care needs within an ambulatory, concierge-style primary care medical home setting.
The position requires a minimum of an Associate Degree in Nursing or Nursing Diploma, with encouragement toward achieving a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) within a defined timeframe for academic progression. A minimum of two years of clinical nursing experience is required, with preference given to nurses with backgrounds in adult medical-surgical, emergency, critical care, cardiac, or ambulatory care settings. Nurses must hold current or multi-state compact RN licensure for North Carolina and possess Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
This full-time role operates on a Monday through Friday day shift schedule, with no weekend or holiday shifts, providing a balanced work-life arrangement. Duke Health is committed to equal employment opportunities and fostering a diverse community where innovation, collaboration, and respect for all voices are paramount. Prospective candidates joining Duke Health will be part of a supportive, inclusive workplace dedicated to professional growth and delivering compassionate, patient-focused care.
