Registered nurses (RNs), regardless of specialty or work
setting, treat patients, educate patients and the public
about various medical conditions, and provide advice
and emotional support to patients' family members.
RNs record patients' medical histories and symptoms,
help perform diagnostic tests and analyze results,
operate medical machinery, administer treatment and
medications, and help with patient follow-up and
rehabilitation. (www.bls.gov)
