I was interviewed for a job at a nursing recently. After the normal routine questions in the interview with the DON (Director of Nursing), I was given an opportunity to ask questions. I asked who would be doing the initial assessments on their admissions to the facitlity and I was told that I would be doing them. I have no problem doing assessments but I need to know if this is right. In school we were taught that it is the RN that does the initial assessments and I do not want to put my license on the line by doing things that are not within my scope of practice.
