7. Medical Disclaimer

Our nurse coaches are not medical doctors and do not provide medical advice. Our services are intended to complement, not replace, the advice of your healthcare under providing and operating within the nursing scope of practice. As deemed by the American Nurses Association, nursing is identified as “the “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how” of nursing practice:

• Who: Registered Nurses (RN) comprise the “who” constituency and have been educated, titled, and maintain active licensure to practice nursing.
• What: Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities; prevention of illness and injury; facilitation of healing; alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response; and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
• Where: Wherever there is a patient in need of care.
• When: Whenever there is a need for nursing knowledge, compassion, and expertise.
• Why: The profession exists to achieve the most positive patient outcomes in keeping with nursing’s social contract and obligation to society.

When each of these questions is answered, the complex considerations in scope of practice become clear. In a profession as dynamic as nursing, and with evolving health care demands, changes in scope of practice and overlapping responsibilities are inevitable in our current and future health care system.”
