Your Role as a Registered Nurse / Registered Practical Nurse

As an RN or RPN with PowerCare, you will deliver professional nursing care, assess and monitor patient conditions, implement individualized care plans and collaborate with healthcare teams to support safe, effective and coordinated care.

Your responsibilities will reflect your nursing designation, demonstrated competencies, applicable professional standards and the requirements of your assigned healthcare setting.

RN and RPN responsibilities are determined by individual competence, applicable legal authority, patient complexity, predictability of outcomes, available resources and the clinical practice environment. Neither designation automatically establishes competence for every nursing intervention or assignment.
