RN Nurses -Bay Springs, MS.

RNs assess and identify patients' needs, then implement and monitor the patient's medical plan and treatment. They also ensure that patient care is conducted according to the policies and standards of their employer, whether that is a hospital or another facility. Most importantly, registered nurses coordinate the care for every patient. From drawing blood and educating patients on their health to working closely with doctors on their medical teams, nurses manage all the moving parts in their workspaces. ## Registered Nurse Job Duties and Responsibilities An RN's typical day varies depending on a number of factors, including the location they work in, both geographically and in terms of the type of facility; the size of the staff and nursing team; and the population they serve. RNs working in a physician's office, for example, may take on some administrative work, while registered nurses working in a hospital are less likely to do this kind of work. No matter how broad a registered nurse's duties may be, they're typically responsible for the following tasks: - Assessing, observing, and speaking to patients - Recording details and symptoms of patient medical history and current health - Preparing patients for exams and treatment - Administering medications and treatments, then monitoring patients for side effects and reactions - Creating, implementing, and evaluating patient care plans with the medical team - Performing wound care, such as cleaning and bandaging them - Assisting in medical procedures as needed - Operating and monitoring medical equipment - Drawing blood, urine samples, and other body fluids for lab work - Educating patients and family members on treatment and care plans, as well as answering their questions - Supervising licensed practical and vocational nurses, nursing assistants, and nursing students
