What Is a Registered Nurse?
A registered nurse (RN) is a healthcare professional who is licensed by the state. RNs care for patients under the supervision of a physician. They also educate patients and the public about health conditions and diseases.
Registered nurses are essential to any healthcare facility. They implement and maintain a high level of hands-on care, and provide a great deal of comfort to patients in the process. RNs are detail-oriented, team players and advocates for their patients. Being a registered nurse is a rewarding career that creates a significant impact on everyday people.
