Job Summary

Looking to make a meaningful impact in a clinical setting without the hospital pace?

Join our team and help ensure donor safety and comfort during the plasma donation process. This is your chance to use your clinical skills in a supportive, community-focused environment where every interaction matters.

As a Licensed Nurse, or as we call them a Physician Substitute for Specialty Programs, you'll be the on-site clinical expert responsible for evaluating donor eligibility, managing donor reactions, and ensuring compliance with all safety and regulatory standards. You'll work closely with the Center Medical Director and other team members to create a safe, efficient, and welcoming experience for every donor.

What You'll Do:

  • Conduct physical exams and assess donor eligibility for plasmapheresis and immunization programs.

  • Review donor health history and lab results to determine suitability, consulting with the Center Medical Director as needed.

  • Educate donors on the donation process, risks, benefits, and informed consent, ensuring they feel confident and cared for.

  • Administer immunizations and monitor for adverse responses, documenting all procedures accurately.

  • Respond to donor reactions such as hypotensive episodes, citrate effects, or allergic responses with appropriate treatment and escalate when necessary.

  • Maintain and monitor emergency medical equipment and ensure readiness for any situation.

  • Notify donors of positive viral marker results (e.g., Hepatitis B/C, HIV, Syphilis) and provide confidential counseling.

  • Participate in safety committee activities and educate staff on donor suitability and medical protocols.

  • Manage employee immunization programs and ensure compliance with SOPs and regulatory guidelines.

  • Assist with plasmapheresis and whole blood procedures when needed.

  • Maintain accurate documentation in donor charts and ensure all medical incidents are reviewed appropriately.

  • Promote donor retention by creating a welcoming, informative, and safe experience.

Qualifications:

  • Must be a currently licensed Nurse (LPN, LVN, or RN) in good standing in the state of practice.

  • Graduate of an accredited nursing program.

  • Current CPR certification.

  • High school diploma, or equivalent.

  • At least 1 year of experience in a healthcare setting is preferred.

  • Experience in plasma or blood collection is a plus.

  • Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to donor care and safety.

  • Ability to remain calm and professional in high-pressure situations.

  • Familiarity with FDA, OSHA, CLIA, and cGMP regulations is beneficial.

  • Comfortable working in a regulated environment with exposure to bloodborne pathogens and cold storage areas.
