Role objective

The Registered Nurse ensures every patient's safety and comfort while at BeaconHealth — from taking vitals and preparing patients for diagnostic procedures, to responding quickly if something goes wrong. This role sits at the point where clinical safety and patient experience meet: the confidence a patient feels walking into a scan or a blood draw often comes down to how they were prepared and reassured beforehand. Patient records and clinical documentation run through BeaconOS, our own platform, which you will be trained on during onboarding.

Key responsibilities

Reporting to the Center Manager, responsibilities include:

Patient care and preparation

• Take and record patient vitals (blood pressure, temperature, pulse, weight, etc.) ahead of diagnostic procedures
• Prepare and position patients for radiology, cardiology, and laboratory procedures, explaining what to expect in clear, reassuring language
• Provide chaperone support during examinations where required, particularly for sensitive procedures
• Administer basic treatments (e.g., wound dressing, injections) within scope of practice and clinic protocol

Clinical safety and emergency response

• Recognize and respond to adverse reactions or emergencies during procedures (e.g., contrast reactions, fainting), initiating first aid and escalating promptly to the Center Manager or referring physician
• Maintain and stock emergency response equipment and medications, checking expiry and readiness regularly
• Ensure infection prevention and control protocols are followed at all times

Patient education and experience

• Explain procedure preparation instructions (e.g., fasting, hydration) and aftercare to patients
• Address patient questions or concerns about tests, and liaise with the Medical Laboratory Scientist, Radiographer, or Center Manager as needed
• Support specimen collection and labelling where required, working alongside the laboratory team

Documentation and compliance

• Maintain accurate, timely patient clinical records in BeaconOS
• Ensure compliance with clinical protocols, safety standards, and patient confidentiality at all times
• Support audits and quality checks related to patient care delivery

Requirements

• Registered Nurse (RN) qualification — Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Nursing
• Current and valid licence to practise from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN)
• Completion of NYSC or valid exemption
• Minimum of 0 - 2 years' post-licence clinical experience, preferably in a hospital, clinic, or diagnostic setting
• Sound knowledge of patient vitals, basic emergency response, and infection control practices
• Rigorous approach to documentation, patient safety, and confidentiality
• Computer literate and comfortable working in a digital record system — we train every new hire on BeaconOS, our own clinical platform, during onboarding

Preferred

• Experience working in a diagnostic, radiology, or outpatient clinical setting
• Phlebotomy or specimen-collection experience
• Basic Life Support (BLS) or similar emergency response certification
• Fluency in the local language spoken by patients at this clinic
