Registered Nurses (RNs) are responsible for providing high-quality, holistic care to patients in a variety of healthcare settings.

To accomplish this goal, RNs perform a number of essential functions, including evaluating patients' physical and mental health status, analyzing test results, developing care plans, administering medications and treatments, and documenting observations and actions taken. Additionally, RNs often serve as liaisons between patients and other members of the healthcare team, communicating relevant information about each patient's condition, prognosis, and response to treatment. To ensure continuity of care, RNs coordinate patient transitions between departments, facilities, and levels of care, facilitating smooth handoffs and minimizing potential errors. They also educate patients and families about diseases, treatments, and prevention strategies, empowering them to take charge of their own health and participate fully in the healing process. Furthermore, RNs assume leadership roles within their organizations, mentoring junior staff, overseeing complex cases, and advocating for policy changes that benefit both patients and providers.
