Volunteer Registered Nurse

"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane." MLK said this over 50 years ago. In our area Access to healthcare continues to be a crisis. According to a 2017 study, 57% of Bailey’s Crossroads, VA are uninsured. Barriers to accessing medical care are legion. Affordability, language, and documentation are just a few examples. Dedicated individuals and congregations thought something should be done. In 2007, they opened Culmore Clinic, where our goal is: Bringing Community Together To Improve Access To Healthcare. 

This position plays a central role in the care of Culmore Clinic patients. The nurse assesses patient for reason for visit, reviews and reconciles medications, takes vital signs, weight, and performs other applicable tests. He/she administers medications per order and provides considerable patient teaching and support to include calls regarding lab results and prescriptions as well as one-on-one care. This position also plays a key role in managing patient flow throughout The Clinic ensuring providers stay on schedule.

Benefits include free medical malpractice insurance and professional development coaching from OKA (Otto Kroeger Associates).
