Under the direct supervision of the Registered Nurse (RN), the Nurse Extern is responsible for demonstrating competency in foundational and progressively developing patient care skills, performing only those delegated tasks that align with their education, validated competencies, and organizational policy. The extern supports the RN in delivering safe, high-quality, age-appropriate care and contributes to patient throughput by assisting with transport, admissions, discharges, and other workflow activities as assigned. This role requires effective communication, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to work collaboratively within the interdisciplinary team while maintaining organization, prioritization, and attention to detail. The extern is accountable for the proper use and care of designated equipment and supplies and must remain flexible and adaptable to changing assignments, evolving patient needs, and ongoing skill development. Throughout their practice, the Nurse Extern is expected to apply the knowledge and abilities appropriate to the specific patient population served on the unit, while continuing to refine clinical skills under the guidance and direction of the RN.
