Overview
To be part of our organization, every employee should understand and share in the YNHHS Vision, support our Mission, and live our Values. These values — integrity, patient-centered, respect, accountability, and compassion — must guide what we do, as individuals and professionals, every day.
As an integral member of the Yale New Haven Health System (YNHHS) healthcare team, the Registered Professional Nurse (RN) upholds the YNHHS mission, vision, values and strategic initiatives to provide the highest level of patient‑centered care. The RN practices professional nursing as a registered nurse within the legal and ethical framework established by the Connecticut Nurse Practice Act, American Nurses Association Scope and Standards for Nursing Practice, ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses and the YNHHS Professional Practice Model.
The professional role of the RN is exemplified by the qualities of leadership, delegation, collaboration, effective communication, and ensuring quality outcomes. YNHHS nurses practice in a framework outlined in our professional practice model, which states, “Achieving outcomes through Autonomy and Accountability.” We value Nursing Professional Governance, and use evidence and data to support our practice with the patient and family at the center, always.
The RN provides care that:
- Establishes and maintains a therapeutic relationship with the patient and family, encompassing an understanding and integration of cultural and diversity into practice.
- Communicates and works collaboratively with the patient, family, and health care team members.
- Respects the patient’s values, preferences, expressed needs and knowledge of the healthcare situation in holistic data collection, in formulating health care outcomes and in the evaluation process.
