The objective of this essay is to enlighten the reader about the information about
registered nurse and their delegation of patient care in the hospital environment. The essay

Personnel and the roles and responsibilities of a registered nurse.
The board of registered nurse guards and advocates about the health and ensuring safety
of the people by making sure that the best quality registered nurses in the California state.
According to the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) the unlicensed assistive personnel are the
people who are historically and legally assistive people who can practice medical within the
scope of licensed nurse. The unlicensed assistive personnel are the people who work within the
similar legal structure in which a nurse work. The unlicensed assistive personnel works as a
medical assistant and individual who work to provide home supportive services to the clients in
the medical environment. There has been a recent growth seen in the unlicensed healthcare
provider in the society. The State Board of Nursing California state that they are facing the need
to hire and train more people in California so that they can provide medical services to the
people in the business environment. The unlicensed assistive personnel works under the legal
boundation of universal care giver model under which they can practice medical subjects that are
only provided them by a licensed medical practitioner in the business environment. As such there
are no roles and responsibility found that are applied on the unlicensed assistive personnel in the
business environment as they work only on the tasks that are delegated to them by the registered
nurse (Rose, et. al., 2015).
Talking about the responsibility of registered nurse, it should be noted that a professional
(licensed) nursing staff holds the responsibility to work in clinic, schools, homes, and assisted
living facilities. The responsibility of a normal registered nurse is to initiate the healthcare
practices in the environment and hold responsibility of their work. They hold the responsibility
of managing the medical records, direct medication, evaluate patients, and refer with other
healthcare providers. The practitioner needs to be up- to- date with new medical information
presented in the worldwide environment. The responsibility of a registered nurse differs in
various settings as it depends upon the medical environment in which they are working. Further,
it should be noted that the role of the registered nurse is to delegate the responsibility to the
unlicensed assistive personnel and get thing done. The UAP does not hold any kind of authority
