Registered Nurse (RN) - Children's Emergency Department

Overview

The Clinical Nurse is responsible for providing total comprehensive nursing to patients and their families through the implementation of a plan of care. The plan is based upon the patient's developmental and health care needs identified through the assessment of the patient's physical, psychological, socioeconomic status, and physician orders regarding care, treatment, and education.

The Clinical Nurse understands the needs of the organization and supports the mission, values, and management of patient care services.

The Clinical Nurse actively supports and incorporates ANA Scope and Standards of Nursing Practice, North Carolina Board of Nursing Practice Act, WakeMed's Division of Nursing Professional Practice model, and WakeMed's Patient & Family Centered Care (PFCC) model.

The four key concepts of PFCC are:

Dignity and Respect = Listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices;
Information Sharing = Communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful;
Participation = Patients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose;
Collaboration = Patients and families and the Clinical Nurse collaborate in the delivery of care.
