Registered Nursing

A registered nurse (RN) plays a crucial role in healthcare by providing high-quality patient care, conducting assessments, and implementing treatment plans. They work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety and well-being.

RNs are responsible for administering medications, monitoring patient progress, and providing support and education to patients and their families. They also play a key role in public health, health promotion, and disease prevention.

Registered nurses must adhere to professional standards and regulations, maintain their competence through ongoing education, and are accountable for their practice within a diverse and often complex healthcare environment.

We love registered nurses because they embody compassion and professionalism, offering unwavering support and skilled care to patients in their most vulnerable moments. Their dedication to healing, patient advocacy, and emotional support makes a profound difference in the lives of individuals and communities, reflecting the heart of healthcare.
