The above reflects the anticipated annual salary range for this position if hired to work in New Jersey.
The compensation offered to the candidate selected for the position will depend on several factors, including the candidate's educational background, skills and professional experience.
At RWJBarnabas Health, our Nursing Professional Development Practitioners help patients and families build the knowledge and confidence needed to safely navigate complex healthcare needs. In this role, you'll combine clinical nursing expertise with education to help patients and caregivers understand diagnosed conditions, treatment plans, medications, and healthcare technology. Working closely with an interdisciplinary team, you'll identify individual learning needs, develop personalized teaching plans, and evaluate readiness to support a safe transition from the hospital. This is an opportunity to make an impact not only through the care you provide, but through the knowledge and skills you help patients and families carry home.
As a Nursing Professional Development Practitioner, a typical day may include:
Assessing the individual learning needs of patients and families managing medically complex conditions and treatment plans
Developing individualized teaching plans that guide patient and family education throughout hospitalization and preparation for discharge
Providing clear, comprehensive education regarding diagnosed illnesses, treatment plans, medications, and healthcare technology requirements
Partnering with patients and caregivers to build the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to safely participate in care following discharge
Collaborating with nurses, physicians, therapists, and other interdisciplinary professionals to identify learning needs and coordinate patient and family education
Adapting teaching methods based on individual learning needs, abilities, and the complexity of each patient's care requirements
Evaluating patient and family understanding and competency to determine whether educational goals have been successfully achieved
Assessing the effectiveness of teaching strategies and learning outcomes and modifying education plans when additional support is needed
Promoting continuity between inpatient care and the patient's transition home by helping ensure families are prepared for ongoing care responsibilities
Providing direct nursing care when needed while maintaining a strong focus on education, competency development, and patient and family readiness
This role might be for you if:
You are passionate about patient and family education and enjoy helping people understand complex healthcare information
You can translate detailed clinical information into practical, understandable guidance for patients and caregivers
You enjoy working with medically complex patients whose discharge plans may require extensive education and preparation
You recognize that successful patient education requires individualized teaching rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
Strong assessment skills help you identify learning needs, barriers to understanding, and opportunities for additional education
You enjoy collaborating with interdisciplinary healthcare professionals to create coordinated and comprehensive education plans
You are comfortable evaluating patient and caregiver competency and adjusting teaching strategies based on their progress
You value empowering patients and families to become knowledgeable and confident participants in their ongoing care
You want a nursing role that combines clinical expertise, education, collaboration, and meaningful patient and family interaction
To be considered for this Nursing Professional Development Practitioner opportunity, candidates must meet the applicable nursing (RN) education, licensure, certification, and professional experience requirements established by RWJBarnabas Health.
