The team is administered by Nurse Managers and other leaders and is supported through the Well Star Shared Governance Model. The framework for practice is steered by the Well Star Professional Practice Model, 5-Star Nursing and evidence‑based practice and research.

RN competencies are derived from these models and supported by the Well Star Core Competencies. All RN Clinical Nurses are licensed, knowledgeable and uphold the practice of nursing as outlined by the Georgia Professional Nurse Practice Act and implement the Scope of Practice and Code of Ethics standards put forth by the American Nurses Association.
