The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by use of technology, therapeutic intervention, and coordination of care with other health team members. Scope

Scope of performance includes prioritization and triage of care delivery, implementing established standing orders and protocols, and performing procedures and therapies consistent with training and licensure.
