Empowering Caregivers: Bridging the Gap Between Nursing and Everyday Care
Many caregiving clients need medical care that goes beyond the typical responsibilities of a caregiver. Nurses can’t always be around, so they delegate some of these tasks to caregivers who are specially certified for these tasks.
What is Nurse Delegation
Nursing Delegation
Nurse Delegation is a service where a registered nurse trains caregivers how to complete specific nursing tasks that could otherwise be only performed by nurses. (It is is a State of Washington law that allows caregivers to provide care that would normally be provided by a licensed nurse).
