JOB SUMMARY
The Registered Nurse (RN) is a licensed professional who uses the
BSWH nursing professional practice model to coordinate patient care

responses to health problems, develops and implements an
individualized plan of care, and evaluates the patient's response.
The RN promotes safe passage for their patients by using knowledge
of patient needs and the healthcare environment to assist patients
to transition through the healthcare encounter without any
preventable complications or delays. The RN delegates interventions
to health care personnel based on the Texas Nursing Practice Act,
each patient's condition and the competencies of the employee.
