Nursing Services

Remote Certified Practice Nursing (RNC) involves nurses who work in an expanded scope of practice to provide primary care, public health, health promotion and curative, urgent and emergent care, rehabilitation and supportive or palliative care for individuals, families and communities, including after hours on-call emergency care. Registered Nurses who are certified by CRNBC can independently carry out some restricted activities that normally require an order. These nurses have access to physicians who can provide consultation when needed. NVHA has 4 RNCs. This nurse also participates in after-hours on-call emergency care.

Emergency Nursing staff are responsible for assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating patient care. ER RN can provide rapid identification of life-threatening injuries, comprehensive patient assessment, and enhanced intervention for better patient outcomes.
