The Castle Point VAMC as part of the Hudson Valley VA system is seeking a Nurse to join the Quality and Patient Safety team. Responsibilities include the coordination of care for traveling Veterans either vested in another Veterans Affairs (VA) facility and traveling to the local catchment area, or traveling outside of the local catchment area, focused on patient education, self-management, and customer satisfaction throughout the continuum of care.
The Traveling Veteran Coordinator (TVC) Registered Nurse (RN) is responsible for executing a streamlined approach to receiving, triaging, and directing timely, coordinated care. The nurse brings principles and theory with limited application of critical thinking skills.

The TVC supports the medical center's mission to improve timely access to care. The TVC will function at their highest level of role performance and align high-quality care with key performance indicators to ensure business practice standards meet patient care needs.
The TVC will work collaboratively as a member of the interdisciplinary team and make caring for the Veteran their priority while in the work setting, and demonstrate customer service principles in all aspects of work.
