Professional nursing is a scientific process founded on a professional body of knowledge. Nursing is a learned profession based on an understanding of the human condition across the lifespan, and the relationship of the patient with others and within the environment. It is an art dedicated to the caring of others and the work of healing. Nursing is a dynamic discipline that is continually changing and evolving to include updated knowledge, technologies, and advances in patient care. What is unique for nurses is the configuration and breadth of nursing practice, both in independent aspects of practice and the collaboration with other authorized health care providers.
Ambulatory care nursing is a unique realm of nursing practice. It is characterized by efficient, focused assessments of patients. Ambulatory care nursing encounters may occur face-to-face or via telephone or other communication devices. The nurse in the ambulatory care setting assesses the patient's needs by collecting subjective and objective health status data from the patient or the patient's care giver, and communicates this data to the health care provider. The ambulatory nurse may triage based on this data. The ambulatory nurse prioritizes the information collected based on the patient's condition, the situation, and/or anticipated needs, and implements a plan of care in collaboration with the authorized provider, and evaluates the response of the prescribed treatment. The ambulatory nurse communicates and educates the health care provider's instructions for care to the patient or the patient's caregiver. Ambulatory care nursing is a specialty practice area that is characterized by dealing with situations and issues that are not always predictable.
The professional nurse must adhere to the federal and state licensing guidelines and subsequent practice as well as the SC Administration and the respective hospitals' predefined Scope of Practice Guidelines.
