Registered Nurse Care Coordinator (RNCC) - Endocrine Clinic (Hybrid)

Bring your clinical judgment, communication skills, and commitment to continuity of care to a role where expert nursing coordination directly supports patients managing complex endocrine and metabolic conditions.

As an RN Care Coordinator with UVA Health's Fontaine Endocrine Clinic, you will help patients navigate ongoing care for diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, bone health, gender health, and general endocrine disorders. This full-time, salaried opportunity combines ambulatory nursing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and hybrid flexibility within a cohesive and supportive team.

The typical schedule is 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with no on-call requirement. Occasional coverage may require hours of 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. or 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The role typically includes one remote workday per week, with the potential for additional remote flexibility when staffing permits.

The Role

You will serve as a key clinical connection among patients, providers, nurses, and the clinic's access team. Using strong assessment skills and sound clinical judgment, you will manage patient needs remotely and in the ambulatory setting while helping ensure timely, coordinated care.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing nursing telephone triage for patients with endocrine and metabolic conditions

• Managing Epic In Basket messages, e-faxes, durable medical equipment requests, and other care-coordination workflows

• Reviewing and downloading glucose readings as needed to support clinical decision-making

• Communicating with patients and providers regarding symptoms, treatment needs, prescriptions, equipment, and follow-up care

• Coordinating care for an assigned patient population across multiple endocrine specialties

• Providing cross-coverage for other RN Care Coordinators and the infusion nurse

• Supporting charge nurse or late nurse coverage when patient-care or staffing needs require it

• Contributing to new ambulatory workflow implementation and ongoing evaluation of clinical phone volumes and nursing workloads

• Applying flexibility, initiative, and collaborative problem-solving as workflows and patient needs evolve

You will be supported as you develop independence in the care-coordination role. Success means becoming confident in managing your responsibilities while building the versatility to provide cross-coverage, with experienced colleagues close by when guidance is needed.
