An OU Health Registered Nurse (RN) I works under general supervision, providing the highest quality of care to patients in a hospital setting with health problems ranging from simple to complex. They model the OU Health Way, as evident in their work output and interactions with employees and patients, through living OU Health’s core values of putting Patients First, pursuing Relentless Excellence, showing Integrity, seeking Inclusion for all staff and patients, always Learning, and valuing Teamwork.

RN I represents the nurse who is a novice or an advanced beginner advancing to competent. While advancing from novice to competent, the nurse relies on rules rather than principles which are independent of specific situations. The advanced beginner may have enough real experience to begin to formulate principles.

RN III is the proficient nurse advancing to expert. This nurse has an intuitive grasp of complex variables that impact quality care on a larger scale and level. They have an ability to see the “whole” to mobilize resources when needed. There is focus on patient outcomes and use of evidence-based practice, innovation and creativity when solving problems. They work efficiently and are team-focused, problem solvers, and are emerging unit leaders/mentors.
