    Study Notes

    Entry-Level Registered Nurse (RN) Competencies and Professional Responsibilities

    • Entry-level RNs work within the registered nursing scope of practice and seek guidance when encountering situations outside their ability.
    • They must have the skills and abilities to attain entry-level competencies and are prepared as generalists to practice safely, competently, and ethically in diverse settings.
    • Entry-level RNs are educated at the baccalaureate level, with a strong foundation in nursing theory, health sciences, humanities, research, and ethics.
    • They practice autonomously within legislation, practice standards, ethics, and scope of practice in their jurisdiction.
    • Entry-level RNs apply critical thinking throughout all aspects of practice, organized under 9 roles including clinician, professional, communicator, collaborator, coordinator, leader, advocate, educator, and scholar.
    • Licensing and registration of nurses are necessary to improve standards of practice and education, with the authority to remove those found to be incompetent or unethical from practice.
    • Licensure is the exclusive legal right to practice a profession, while registration ensures a minimum level of safe practice and requires evidence of expanding knowledge and competence.
    • Registration exams like the NCLEX-RN contribute to patient safety by testing entry-level knowledge necessary for safe care at the beginning of a nurse's career.
    • The exams focus on areas such as pain management, medication administration, basic care, infection control, and confidentiality of patient information.
    • Nurses have ethical and legal responsibility to maintain confidentiality and privacy of client health information, governed by provincial legislation such as PHIPA and PIPEDA.
    • PHIPA permits sharing personal health information among healthcare team members, while PIPEDA requires organizations to obtain consent for collecting, using, or disclosing personal information and protect it with appropriate safeguards.
    • Privacy and confidentiality belong to the patient, and confidentiality is the duty of the healthcare provider, with guidelines on maintaining them.
