The registered professional nurse is responsible for the direct and indirect total nursing care of assigned patients and for supervising assigned personnel. The role requires knowledge of department and hospital policies and procedures relevant to nursing care delivery. Interpretive, interactive, consultative, management, and supervisory skills are inherent to the position. The nurse must be able to retrieve, communicate, and present information in written, auditory, or visual formats. Spoken communication is the primary way of expressing or exchanging ideas; written, telephone, and manual dexterity skills are also required. The role requires a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, at least one year of nursing or patient care experience in an acute care setting, a Virginia Registered Nurse license or compact state nursing license, and BLS certification. Nurses on designated units must maintain applicable specialty certifications. For nurses new to the practice area or new graduates, specialty requirements must be completed within one year. ACLS is required for step-down units including 3B. Current ACLS or PALS certification satisfies the BLS skills requirement under the stated policy.
