A nurse's responsibility is to follow policies and procedures and to know the most current practice standards.As a nurse progresses in a career,it becomes his or her responsibility to obtain necessary continued education and earn certifications when he or she chooses to practice in specialty areas.Nurses must be accountable for their own actions; it is not the responsibility of the hospital,charge nurse,or oncologist for the nurse to be competent.
