About The Position

The nurse demonstrates competency using the nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, outcomes identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The role upholds the ANA standards of professional performance, including ethical and culturally congruent practice, communication, collaboration, leadership, education, evidence-based practice and research, quality of practice, professional practice evaluation, resource utilization, and environmental health.
