Duties and Responsibility: Registered nurses mainly focus on patient care. They provide the best care they can, while making themselves indispensable to both doctors and patients. Their care duties include preparatory work before, during and after patient procedures. An RN's duties are often shaped by which specialty area he or she works in.Registered nurses may choose a specialty based upon the type of treatment administered and thus narrow their scope of job duties. For example, an RN can choose to work solely with patients who have substance abuse problems or those with cancer or HIV/AIDS. Other options include focusing on a specific organ or body system, as well as working with different ages of the population, such as caring exclusively for children or elderly patients. When an RN chooses a specialty area of care, their responsibilities are more clearly defined and predictable on a day-to-day basis.
Salary: $66,640 USD (2014)
Education: There are three major educational paths that can be followed to become a Registered Nurse. A student must successfully complete one of these degree programs to be eligible for the NCLEX-RN licensing examination. Once a student passes this exam they are able to practice as a Registered Nurse.
