What Is Nurse Delegation?

The Nurse Delegation Program, under Washington State law, allows nursing assistants working in certain settings to perform certain tasks–such as administration of prescription medications or blood glucose testing–normally performed only by licensed nurses. A registered nurse must teach and supervise the nursing assistant, as well as provide nursing assessments of the patient’s condition.
