The Registered Nurse (RN) coordinates nursing care, including direct patient care, patient and family education, and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and throughout the continuum of care to meet the needs of patients and families. Within the Mayo Nursing Care Model and the ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, the RN plans, implements, evaluates, and communicates all phases of care for assigned patients. The role includes providing leadership through precepting, informal leadership, and quality improvement efforts; delegating care according to staff skill and experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability, and available resources; and using strong communication, mentoring, and teaching skills. The RN may also participate in committees or projects. Newly graduated RNs with less than 12 months of practice experience who are hired into a scheduled FTE RN position are automatically enrolled in the Nurse Residency Program; no separate application or enrollment is required. Nurses new to Mayo Clinic receive an extensive orientation regardless of experience. The role is eligible for TN sponsorship, subject to state licensure and completion of VisaScreen or equivalent certification.
