All clinical work hours and associated requirements will be defined and managed under the direction of the collaborating physician/division designee and within the Human Resource guidelines.

The CRNP or PA-C, while providing quality care across the continuum in collaboration with physicians, nursing staff and other members of the care team, performs histories, physicals, and procedures according to credentialing, provides care and patient/family teaching following the nursing process, participates in research as appropriate, ensures regulatory compliance, documents care according to standards, and prescribes by following the collaborative agreement and State regulations.
