Joint Statement of Delegation: American Nurses Association (ANA) and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) 
(joint statement of delegation for nursing developed to support the practicing nurse in using delegation effectively and safely)

The five rights of delegation (developed by the NCSBN)

the right task; the right circumstance; the right person; the right direction/communication; and the right supervision

THE STUDENT-PRECEPTOR RELATIONSHIP The student is not working under the RN license. The standard of care must be the same as that provided by the RN.
Under the law, each person is responsible for their own actions.

The R.N. preceptor has the responsibility to delegate according to the student's abilities and to supply adequate supervision.

At the beginning and throughout the preceptorship discussing the student's abilities will guide what skills and practices the nursing student should participate in.
