The position involves competency in the care of unit specific patient populations, with the expectation that the individual independently practices with solid knowledge and clinical skills while being engaged in advancing their own practice. The role serves as a clinical resource for others and requires the application and integration of evidence into practice. The individual must function effectively in roles specific to the unit, such as being part of the arrest team for ICU or triage for ED. Collaboration with the interdisciplinary team to plan and coordinate care is essential, along with independently advocating for patient and family needs. The individual is expected to model practice consistent with unit operations to ensure safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care.
