Job Essentials

The Registered Nurse (RN) performs appropriate assessments of physical, social, and psychological status, including cognitive, communicative, and developmental skills as appropriate. They seek and evaluate information from other members of the interdisciplinary team such as the patient, family, physician, non-nursing disciplines, and support staff.

The RN collaboratively develops individualized plans of care, actively involves patients and families in developing these plans, and prepares patients for further support needs once the current episode of care outcomes are met (e.g., teaching, referrals, and follow-up).

The RN directs the interdisciplinary care team via delegation, coordination, and collaboration. They evaluate patient responses to interventions, revise plans of care as necessary, and reassess changes as appropriate.

The RN promotes the nursing profession, participates in the development of others, maintains an appropriate professional relationship with physicians, and integrates legal and ethical standards into practice. They comply with regulatory standards, Intermountain policy, and practice within the scope of licensure. They provide accurate and timely documentation and understand the legal implications of care delivery. They meet initial, annual, and ongoing competency requirements for job functions outside of basic RN training (e.g., clinical procedures, pertinent laboratory tests, use of equipment and supplies).
