A Registered Nurse (RN) provides critical patient care, administers treatments, educates patients, and acts as the primary liaison between physicians, patients, and healthcare administration to ensure optimal medical outcomes.
Daily duties include assessing patients, recording vitals, administering medications, drawing blood, updating electronic health records, assisting doctors during exams, and educating patients on post-hospital care.
An ADN is an Associate Degree in Nursing (usually a 2-year program), while a BSN is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (a 4-year degree). Both allow you to become an RN, but many hospitals now prefer or require a BSN for leadership and specialized roles.
Shift hours vary wildly. Hospital nurses typically work three 12-hour shifts per week (days or nights), while clinic nurses often work standard 8-hour day shifts, Monday through Friday.
