This is the staff/journey level for nursing positions that are assigned to one clinical service area or rotation among the various nursing areas of the institution or hospital. Assignments involve the responsibility for developing and implementing nursing care plans for patients with a wide range of nursing care problems; providing nursing care and treatment services to patients assigned to the unit and assigning and directing the work of nursing assistants.

Because they possess experience and the ability to evaluate patients' conditions and render comprehensive nursing diagnoses, positions may also serve as charge nurses, relieving the head nurse for the evening or night shift. This involves responsibility for providing patient care and treatment services per doctor's orders; implementing nursing care plans approved by the unit nursing supervisor; and responding to patient emergencies.
