The Registered Nurse works in a collaborative environment with a strong interdisciplinary team focused on a patient-centered care model. Under the direction and general supervision of the Nurse Manager, the nurse uses evidence-based practices in accordance with the State Nurse Practice Act, hospital policies and procedures, and medical staff direction. The nurse applies nursing knowledge and the nursing process to develop a plan of care that meets the physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and educational needs of patients and their families.
