Deskripsyon ng trabaho
At some point in our lives, we all experience an injury or illness that leads to a trip to a clinic or hospital. While there, we’re likely to encounter a range of medical professionals, including various types of nurses—the most numerous of which are called Registered Nurses.
Registered Nurses (RNs) provide complex care to patients in settings like hospitals, physician’s offices, outpatient care centers, and even private homes. Their tasks range from patient assessment to developing and implementing nursing care plans and administering prescribed medications.
RNs also supervise Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), ensuring the team delivers timely, high-quality care. They must collaborate closely with doctors and other providers, offering valuable insights that can help inform decision-making when it comes to patient care.
In-home care settings, they may oversee the implementation of care plans and provide direct patient care. Their expertise in clinical procedures, patient education, and advocacy is essential for positive patient outcomes.
Registered Nurses who pursue additional training may hold advanced practice roles such as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (or Nurse Practitioner).

Mga Inaasahan at Sakripisyo
Nursing environments are unlike most typical workplaces. Hours can be long, with night and weekend work common. Patients come and go, with various health issues and personalities that RNs must adapt to and contend with with patience and perseverance.
Expectations run high, with potentially several patients’ health and wellness depending on their diligence and focus. The job can be stressful, exhausting, or even overwhelming at times, especially in intense places like emergency rooms. In addition, RNs are at risk of occupational injuries (from moving patients), exposure to infectious diseases, and exposure to various chemicals and possibly even radiation.
Suffice it to say, nursing can be a demanding career—but it’s also one with an enormously crucial impact!
Kasalukuyang Trend
The issue of nursing turnover is a significant challenge, with 31% of nurses expressing an intent to leave their current roles in direct patient care. The high turnover rate highlights the ongoing pressures RNs face as the problem of nursing shortages continues to affect the whole healthcare industry.
The silver lining is that healthcare leaders are, to varying degrees, paying more attention and listening more to nurses’ concerns, prioritizing improved workplace cultures and other retention efforts. Part of this shift is an increase in diversifying nursing student bodies by addressing barriers to educational access.
Meanwhile, telehealth nursing is a trend that seeks to offer better accessibility to care for patients in remote or underserved areas, as well as enhanced patient monitoring, and a reduction in the strain on healthcare facilities in general. The downside is the need for extra training for nurses to learn the systems and procedures, as they juggle so many other duties.
Anong mga uri ng mga bagay ang kinagigiliwang gawin ng mga tao sa karerang ito noong bata pa sila...
Registered Nurses are patient, pragmatic caregivers who may have always been interested in healthcare and able to deal with sights and circumstances that might make others squeamish.
They could have been responsible for the care of family members at an early age. They’re curious, collaborative, empathetic, and strong communicators, all traits that could have been nurtured through extracurricular activities in school. Perhaps above all is their ability to think critically, especially in triage situations. This skill could have been developed on their own or with the help of teachers and parents.
Kailangan ang Edukasyon at Pagsasanay
- Depending on the program, RN training may occur at community colleges, vocational/technical schools, four-year colleges, universities, and hospitals
- Some students sign up for a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) diploma first, or a Licensed Practical Nurse/Licensed Vocational Nurse certification before applying to an RN program
- Many vocational-oriented high schools offer career pathway programs in health sciences or certain CNA or LPN classes or dual enrollment opportunities that allow students to gain college credits and get a jump start on their nursing careers
- Some states allow hospital-based nursing schools to offer nursing diplomas which may not count for college credit
- There are also nurse apprenticeship programs available in states such as Illinois, Maryland, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington (per Indeed.com), with others in development. However, apprenticeship applicants may need to first be enrolled in an RN degree program!
RN Degree Options
- Students have the option to pursue one of the following degree types:
- Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)
- Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN)
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
- Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
- Note, there are undergraduate-level bridge programs, such as:
- LPN/LVN-to-RN
- RN-to-BSN
- There are also graduate bridge programs such as BSN-to-MSN, as well as dual master’s options, and direct-entry MSN (aka Entry Level Masters Program in Nursing) programs for students whose bachelor’s was not in a nursing field
- There are several areas of specialization for MSN students, such as:
- Certified Nurse Midwife
- Clinical Nurse Leader
- Diabetes Care Specialist
- Nurse Researcher
- Nursing Administrator
- Pediatric Endocrinology Nurse
- Public Health Nurse
Additional Options
- Some states may have additional options, such as California’s LVN 30 Unit Option, which “takes approximately 18-24 months” but offers no degree upon completion. “Most other states do not recognize California's LVN 30 Unit Option and will not issue RN licenses to these LVNs,” writes CA.gov.
- Many nurses are trained through military programs, serving on active duty before transitioning back into the civilian workforce. In such cases, they will need to pass an exam for RN licensure, so long as they’ve completed sufficient RN education and clinical experience.
Applying for Nursing School
- To apply to a state-approved RN training program, applicants need a high school diploma or GED equivalent
- A good GPA plus a solid background in subjects like English, math (algebra and geometry), and science (biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science) are recommended. Knowledge of social sciences and a foreign language will make your application more competitive
- Some nursing programs have prerequisites, so it is helpful to know in advance where you want to attend training so you can prepare by taking the right classes
- RN program applicants may have to take a program entrance exam, such as the National League for Nursing Pre-Admission Exam (PAX), Nursing Entrance Test, Kaplan Nursing School Admission Test, or Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) assessment
- Bachelor’s programs may require a math or English placement test or college placement test scores (such as the SAT or ACT)
- Graduate programs may require the GRE. These exam scores can have a large impact on your application so it’s important to take them seriously and study
- There are no 100% online RN programs due to the in-person clinical skills requirements. However many schools offer valid, reputable online and hybrid classes covering much of the academic coursework
- Required in-person clinical components “may” be waived in some cases, if a student has enough existing clinical knowledge and work experience
- Some US colleges incorporate Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCE) into their programs, to allow students “to practice and demonstrate clinical skills in a standardized medical scenario”
After RN School
- Upon completion of training, RN program graduates must sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) exam before applying for state licensure. They cannot work without a license, however, it may be possible to obtain an interim permit to work under supervision until the NCLEX exam results are available
- Ang mga lisensya ay nababago, ngunit ang pag-renew ay karaniwang nangangailangan ng pagkumpleto ng patuloy na mga klase sa edukasyon. Ang mga kinakailangan ay nag-iiba ayon sa estado
- The National Council of State Boards of Nursing features a listing of all the state boards of nursing points of contact
- Based on state or employer guidelines, RNs may need to meet mandatory immunization requirements, such as seasonal flu vaccination, Tdap, MMR, hepatitis B, varicella, and meningococcal
- RNs may have to pass criminal background and drug screening
- Maaaring kailanganin ang isang balido, kasalukuyang lisensya sa pagmamaneho ng estado at malinis na rekord sa pagmamaneho
