Rules 224 and 225 relating to delegation of unlicensed personnel by registered professional nurses apply to such nursing students. The definition of unlicensed personnel in Rule 224.4(4) and in Rule 225.4(12) includes nursing students enrolled in a professional nursing education program who are providing care for monetary compensation which is not a part of their formal educational program. Basically, the registered nurse may delegate certain nursing tasks which the RN determines can be properly and safely performed by the unlicensed personnel under the supervision of the RN. In such a capacity, nursing students may not perform any tasks requiring independent nursing judgment such as care plans, assessments, etc. Please refer to further details about delegation in the Delegation Resource Packet.
