The Registered Nurse (RN) is a licensed professional who uses the Boswell Nursing Practice Model to coordinate patient care delivery by the health‑care team. Using the nursing process, the RN assesses the patient, identifies nursing diagnoses based on 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.
