About the position
As a critical part of every Octapharma Plasma donor center, talented nurses like you work hard to enhance the lives of others with your empathy, skill, and commitment. This role is designed for those who are determined to increase their work/life balance and home time while also having the opportunity to learn and advance in their careers. The organization strives to provide real work/life balance, career-development opportunities, and genuine support to its employees. In this position, you will be responsible for performing medical evaluations of potential donors for automated plasmapheresis procedures, determining donor suitability in consultation with a donor center physician, and providing limited emergency care, including the administration of medications or treatments. You will also conduct evaluations to ensure compliance with criteria for normal plasma donors, review medical histories, and perform suitability examinations. Maintaining communication logs regarding donor suitability and reviewing normal and abnormal test results to determine continued donor suitability are also key responsibilities. Additionally, you will counsel donors with abnormal test results and defer them accordingly. This role requires a strong character and demonstrated integrity, as well as a commitment to excellent customer service. You should be empathetic enough to understand and appreciate our donors, self-motivated, and willing to take the initiative. A teachable attitude with a desire to learn and advance is essential, along with positive energy and a willingness to pitch in where needed. Understanding, patience, and authenticity are also important traits for success in this role. The organization values its nurses and offers excellent work/life balance, with home time that allows you to leave work at work. Centers operate limited hours during many major holidays, fostering a supportive environment with strong ethical standards and opportunities for advancement. Overall, this position is not just about performing medical evaluations; it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of donors and contributing to the community through teamwork and compassion.
