The Employee Health Nurse works closely with the Nursing, Human Resources, Risk Management, and Compliance teams to ensure regulatory standards are met and maintained.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Include the following. Other duties may be assigned, as necessary.

Employee Health Program Management

• Clinically review pre-employment and ongoing employee health screenings for direct patient care nurses, including TB risk assessment, symptom evaluation, and testing consistent with CDC guidance, accreditation standards, and applicable state-specific requirements. Determine if follow-up actions are required.

• Maintain required immunization records and track compliance, declinations, and renewal timelines for all nursing staff with patient contact.

• Coordinate Hepatitis B vaccination offers and declination documentation per OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.

• Maintain individual employee health files for the Nursing Department separately from HR personnel files, in accordance with each state's record-retention and surveyor-access requirements.

• Conduct periodic clinical review of employee health records and documentation to determine compliance with organizational, regulatory, and accreditation requirements.

• Advise leadership regarding potential employee health risks and mitigation strategies.

Exposure, Injury, and Incident Management

• Exercise professional nursing judgment to manage the post-exposure protocol for needlesticks and other bloodborne pathogen exposures, including first aid, source patient testing coordination, post-exposure prophylaxis timing, and baseline/follow-up lab tracking.

• Maintain the OSHA Sharps Injury Log and OSHA 300 Log in coordination with Risk Management/HR.

• Investigate and document workplace injuries for the Nursing Department (musculoskeletal injuries from transfers, motor vehicle incidents in the field, animal bites, etc.), coordinating with workers' compensation as needed.

• Develop, revise, and implement organizational protocols for staff exposure to infection-control hazards in the home setting, including patient home pest infestations (bed bugs, lice, rodents), following established PPE/decontamination procedures and criteria for visit suspension pending remediation.

• Track and analyze employee health, injury, exposure, and infection-control trends and recommend process improvements and corrective actions.

Regulatory and Licensure Compliance

• Maintain current working knowledge of nursing employee health requirements under each state's home health/home care licensing statute and administrative code, and implement updates as needed.

• Serve as the employee health subject-matter expert during new-state licensure applications, ensuring personnel and employee health file requirements are met prior to initial survey.

• Liaise with state and local TB control programs and departments of health as needed.

• Monitor regulatory changes across all states in which the agency is licensed or is pursuing licensure, and develop and implement amendments to existing policies as appropriate. 

• Serve as the central point of accountability for conflict of interest disclosures across the nursing team — building a consistent annual collection process, maintaining an organized tracking system, and surfacing trends or concerns for timely follow-up.

Education and Program Support

• Develop and deliver annual TB education and infection control training to direct patient care staff using organization-approved materials.

• Develop and deliver new-hire employee health education.

• Lead employee health compliance initiatives and provide recommendations for continuous program improvement.

• Support HR with license, certification, and registry verification processes (e.g., criminal background checks, nurse aide registries, CPR certification) where employee health status intersects with employability determinations.

Additional Responsibilities for IgCN-Certified Nurses:

Clinical staff who hold an active IgCN certification may be required to participate in CSI’s Immunoglobulin Mentorship Program as part of their role. Participation is dependent on operational needs and program assignments.

• Participate in document review, including competency checklists, orientation materials, and required training records.

• Conduct direct observation of clinical practice as required and assess the mentee’s level of competency within the defined orientation period.
