Registered nursing associates have obtained a nursing associate foundation degree that has been endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) through an approved educational institution. This usually involves 2 years of higher-level study, enabling the registered nursing associate to undertake more complex and significant tasks than a healthcare assistant would, but without the scope of a registered nurse. It is not the intention to replace the registered nurse with a registered nursing associate. The role is used and regulated in England, with the aim of addressing a skills gap between healthcare assistants/support workers and registered nurses - it can also provide a progression route into graduate-level nursing. This article, the first in a series, provides an overview of the registered nursing associate role.
注册护士助理通过经认可的教育机构获得了护理和助产理事会（NMC）认可的护士助理基础学位。这通常需要 2 年的高等教育学习，使注册护士助理能够承担比医疗助理更复杂和更重要的任务，但没有注册护士的范围。其目的不是用注册护士助理来替代注册护士。该角色在英格兰被使用和监管，旨在解决医疗助理/支持人员和注册护士之间的技能差距——它还可以提供进入研究生水平护理的途径。本文是一系列文章中的第一篇，概述了注册护士助理的角色。
