The position involves competency in the care of unit specific patient populations, with the expectation that the nurse independently practices with solid knowledge and clinical skills while engaging in advancing their own practice. The nurse serves as a clinical resource for others and applies and integrates evidence into practice. They are expected to 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, as is independently advocating for patient and family needs. The nurse models practice consistent with unit operations to ensure safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care.
