We wrap up our 101 series about our multidisciplinary team of pediatric healthcare experts with a discussion focused on Registered Nurses (RNs). RNs are at the heart of the Kix360° service and provide invaluable support and guidance with proactive (continuing) and reactive (episodic) pediatric healthcare. Let’s get started!
Qu'est-ce qu'une infirmière autorisée (IA) ?
Les infirmières autorisées (IA) sont des professionnelles de la santé autorisées qui prodiguent des soins infirmiers directs aux patients, offrent des programmes d'éducation à la santé et fournissent des services consultatifs sur des questions pertinentes à leur champ d'exercice. Ils peuvent identifier les conditions, recommander des médicaments et des interventions en vente libre, et fournir un enseignement et une promotion de la santé.
Les IA terminent généralement un programme universitaire post-secondaire de 4 ans en soins infirmiers pour devenir des infirmières autorisées généralistes. Le programme contient une formation théorique et clinique en soins infirmiers médicaux et chirurgicaux dans divers domaines.
Une IA peut-elle prescrire des médicaments?
While an RN cannot prescribe medication, they can identify conditions, recommend over-the-counter medications and interventions, and provide health teaching and promotion. Through their ability to identify symptoms and illnesses, RNs have helped thousands of families in our Kix360° service alone to prevent unnecessary trips to the emergency room.
RNs can triage the level and urgency of care needed from another provider and know how to navigate the healthcare system. They play an essential role in leading the care at Kix360° and work alongside the Nurse Practitioners to ensure high-quality care and 24/7 access for our KixFamilies.
What is unique about RNs and the Kix360° Experience?
Our team of RNs, or as you might know them, KixNurses, practice to their full RN scope of practice. They are the initial and primary contact within the Kix360° program. RNs help support our KixFamilies throughout all health and wellness concerns by providing assessments, managing illnesses, symptoms, and providing the support needed to empower our KixFamilies to prevent unnecessary trips to the emergency department.
Our KixNurses are trained to triage our KixFamilies to our NPs, and, as needed, who are available through video appointments and conveniently scheduled by your KixNurse based on availability, to provide our families with the full Kix360° healthcare experience. They also support and encourage proactive care such as growth, development, nutrition, and mental health to ensure our care is not just reactive healthcare.
