Working with others: A position paper (NCSBN)
“This paper addresses nurses working in settings that do not have organized nursing structures, where nurses have struggled to determine the appropriate nursing role. It provides guidance to nurses working in non-acute health settings, social support agencies and other settings where there is not a structured nursing organization. While delegation has been the traditional type of interface with assistive personnel, this paper provides a template for nurses to evaluate other types of interfaces with health team members and other workers, referred to in this paper as unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Working with UAP in these settings is a source of confusion and frustration for nurses, and the subject of many calls to boards of nursing. This paper proposes a template to guide nurses in these situations.” [i]
