Understanding Staff Nurses
As primary caregivers and medical support staff in hospitals, staff nurses play a vital role in patient care.They are typically involved in monitoring vital signs such as heart rate, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and more. This is often done regularly to ensure that the patient’s progress is well monitored.Staff nurses also work in teams consisting of other healthcare providers.
They collaborate with doctors, specialized professionals, therapists, and social workers to ensure that the patient gets the best care possible. Another important role that staff nurses play is ensuring clear documentation regarding the treatment of a patient. This includes keeping records that pertain to diagnosis, interventions taken, and how the patient has responded to these interventions.
Staff nurses may also be involved in administering medications and IV fluids, ensuring that these are as specified by the doctors. This requires a good understanding of medical and drug protocols. They are usually proficient in the use of various medical equipment used in the treatment and diagnosis of patients.
When Should Staff Nurses Hire a License Defense Attorney?
Within the realm of staff nursing, various situations can prompt a review of a nurse's license, each potentially jeopardizing their professional standing. Instances such as medication errors, deviations from physician orders in patient care, and improper use of medical equipment are commonly categorized as acts of negligence, thus warranting a review of one's license.
Moreover, unprofessional conduct like displays of rudeness, discrimination, or verbal abuse towards patients or colleagues, as well as being impaired by drugs or alcohol while on duty, serve as grounds for disciplinary action and subsequent license review. Given the severity and potential consequences of these situations, it is paramount for staff nurses to recognize the importance of legal representation.
