The Registered Nurse (RN) provides individualized nursing care to residents in a long-term care setting using the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, outcomes and planning, implementation, and evaluation. The RN collaborates with residents and families, providers, and other interdisciplinary colleagues to plan, implement, and evaluate care. The role requires nursing practice within the full scope of the RN’s expertise and applicable standards for the assigned clinical setting and resident population. The RN supports residents through preventative care, health maintenance, diagnosis, and treatment, and coordinates care, resident assessments, education, and other nursing interventions. The RN may serve as charge nurse and delegate appropriate tasks to licensed and unlicensed assistive personnel, providing support to ensure safe and reliable care and resolution of care or service concerns. Practice must comply with the Nurse Practice Act and administrative rules in the state of practice and licensure, as well as professional nursing standards and ethics.
