👥 Team Leadership

Even though the job says:

Direct Reports: None

the RN can still have significant responsibility over other staff.

The RN may:

• Delegate tasks to CNAs/techs/LPNs depending on the unit
• Supervise care provided by other personnel
• Coordinate the patient's multidisciplinary care
• Precept new nurses
• Mentor other staff
• Participate in shared governance/leadership
• Help with orientation and education

So this doesn't necessarily mean a charge nurse or management position. It's more of a bedside RN who may take a leadership role during the shift.
