When considering a nurses’ domain of practice, a nurse should keep in mind their education, skill and specialized knowledge in what they will be doing. “The practice of nursing requires specialized knowledge, skill, and independent decision making” (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2016). A nurse goes into work every day to take care of patients and therefore should know what they can and cannot do. For our hospital we have special sign offs on competencies for certain procedures or tasks before we can actually do them. Recently everyone on our floor had to take a class on how to interpret EKG strips since our floor is now telemetry equipped.
Knowing your scope of practice is safe for patients because it means you know what you are allowed to do and what a more specialized person should be doing. We also have a rule where we only stick a patient twice and if we still are unable to start the IV or get the blood draw, we call the IV team to come or ask someone else to try.
