Competency 6 Assists in the evaluation of progress toward expected outcomes. 6.2 Contributes information relevant to assessing the effectiveness of nursing care in achieving planned outcomes. The Helping Role Competency 7 Demonstrates effective communication and inter-personal skills. The Enrolled Nurse is a second level nurse who provides nursing care within the limits specified by education and the registering authority's licence to practise. The enrolled nurse works under the direction and supervision of the registered nurse.
Supervision means the direction and guidance given by a registered nurse to an enrolled nurse.
The supervision may be direct or indirect according to the nature of the work delegated to the enrolled nurse. Registering authorities expect that on initial enrolment, the enrolled nurse may, with the supervision of a registered nurse, provide patient care in all relatively stable nursing situations and assist the registered nurse with patient care in less stable nursing situations. The enrolled nurse practises with and under the direction and supervision of the registered nurse, and assists in the provision of nursing care. Enrolled nurses retain responsibility for their personal actions whilst remaining accountable to the registered nurse for all delegated functions.
