DELEGATION
In nursing, delegation is directed by the needs of the patient seeking health care and, more so, their health condition. Other factors that are considered during delegation include the risk of harm, the complexity involved, probability of the patient’s outcome, and the competency and skills of the person to whom the delegation is done. Delegation is important in nursing because it allows a registered nurse to attend to more patients instead of limiting their services to just but a few patients. More so, delegation provides a golden opportunity for junior personnel to grow and develop their skills and gain experience. As a registered nurse, I have taken several roles in the delegation of nursing duties. I have been involved in the recruitment of junior staff in the nursing department. Our main goal was to ensure that we recruit only those candidates who have the basic or necessary knowledge in nursing during recruitment. The resources that I would support as a delegator are to follow the jurisdiction law requirements in all matters about delegation.
