Great care starts with great people. (Like you.) At Honor Health, you’ll find something special. From humble beginnings in 1927 to one of Arizona’s largest nonprofit healthcare systems, our culture is built on warmth and neighborly kindness. Behind every smile is a highly skilled professional with deep expertise and an unwavering dedication to what matters most — caring for the health and well-being of people and communities across the greater Phoenix area.

The RN's practice is guided by the ANA Standard for Professional Nurse and Code of Ethics. The RN has knowledge of professional nursing principles, practices, concepts, and procedures as applied to the care of the patient population served. The RN records patients' medical history and symptoms, helps perform diagnostic tests and analyze results, operates medical equipment, administers treatment and medications, and helps with patient follow-up and rehabilitation.

The RN establishes a care plan or contributes to an existing plan. The plan may include activities such as administering medication, starting and maintaining IV lines, administering therapies, observing the patient, consulting with physicians and other healthcare clinicians, teaching patients and families, and providing direction to licensed practical nurses and aides. The RN supports efforts to advance clinical knowledge, precepts new hire staff and students, assists them to seek and complete competency tasks, and continuously enhances nursing knowledge and care of patient problems.
