The RN practices in the ambulatory care setting in accordance with the American Nurses Association (ANA) Standards of Professional Nursing Practice and the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN) Standards of Professional Ambulatory Care Nursing Practice. The RN provides evidence-based care to adult and pediatric patients consistent with current clinical practice guidelines.
