Registered Nurse Behavioral Health

Overview

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating patient care. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process through technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence-based practice, and coordination of care with other health team members.

• Assess: Performs appropriate assessment of physical, social, and psychological status (including cognitive, communicative, and developmental skills). Seeks and evaluates information from interdisciplinary team members: patient, family, physician, non‑nursing disciplines, support staff, others.
• Plan: Uses assessment information and critical thinking skills to collaboratively develop individualized plan of care. Actively involves patient, family, team, and physician in plan of care including necessary education. Plans for patients to move to further support when current episode outcomes are met (e.g., teaching, referrals, follow‑up).
• Implement: Directs the interdisciplinary care team via delegation, coordination, and collaboration. Provides or delegates care consistent with plan, guidelines, and licensure provisions. Sets priorities, coordinates resources, and manages time effectively.
• Evaluate: Evaluates patient response to interventions, reviewing goal achievement, clinical outcomes, and satisfaction. Revises plan of care as indicated and reassesses changes.
• Professionalism: Promotes the nursing profession, participates in development of others, integrates legal and ethical standards, complies with regulations, practices within scope of licensure, documents accurately, and understands legal implications of care delivery.
