Seeking a highly organized and clinically sound Registered Nurse for their Preventive Cardiology specialty clinic.

- Tele-Nursing & Triage: Conduct phone assessments; provide guidance on medication side effects, lifestyle modifications, and titration protocols.
- Patient Education: Create and deliver education plans focused on cardiac health, focusing on secondary prevention and long-term risk reduction.
- Care Coordination: Review laboratory trends (lipids, renal function) and assist providers in optimizing the patient’s preventive regimen.

Clinical Spotlight: The Preventive Strategist
In Preventive Cardiology, your success is measured by the events that don't happen. By meticulously managing medication prior authorizations and providing clear patient education, you are the barrier between a patient and a future cardiac event. This role requires a nurse who enjoys the "puzzle" of insurance navigation and the satisfaction of ensuring a patient has the life-saving medications they need to stay out of the hospital.
The clinic is located in the heart of Hartford's medical district.
