Today's Registered Nurse —

RNs come from every socio-economic class, every state, and every neighborhood in America. This diversity grants them a special understanding of the people for whom they care. What follows is a statistical portrait of today's RN, compiled from The Registered Nurse Population, Findings from the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, March 1992, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Public Health Service, Health Resources and Services Administration."

Nebraska Health and Human Services System:"A Consumer's Guide to Nursing. The practice of nursing is a process that occurs during interaction between the nurse and the patient. This process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's health care needs. The nurse assesses the patient's needs by interviewing the patient and the family to determine health history and current health status, by physically examining the patient, and by reviewing the patient's record including the results of diagnostic tests."

Nursing: A Medical Emergency, and Opportunity, hits home by Ronald A. Reis and Karen F. Reis RN:"You’re an RN, and you’ve been at it, administering to the sick and wounded, for months, years, maybe even decades. You’ve got your hands full with 12-hour shifts, high turnover, an often less than supportive work environment, and a stressed-out health care system that is, in places, itself on life-support. What to do? How to keep going? How to make this job, career, meaningful again? How to get out of nursing what you went into it for? How to avoid adding to the national nursing shortage by short-circuiting your own involvement in a noble profession?"

Imagine the amount of nursing information you must learn to earn the RN degree you desire. it will become your life. Luckily there are many online nursing resources that will help you digest and understand the information taught by those nurses turned instructors. The problem is that this information can be hard to find because of the enormous amount of nursing web sites available. That's why we make RN school easier by pulling together the best nursing student resources into a convenient location. Here you will find original content as well as excellent links to other sites that will help you on your way to becoming a registered nurse."

What Do Nurses Do (Registered Nurse)? WhatDoTheyDo.com:"Nurses are often referred to as “Angels of Mercy” and with good reason. They assist doctors in caring for the sick, the injured and the infirm. however, aiding doctors is only a small part of their work. Most often, nurses are the primary care givers, administering medicines and doing tests and caring directly for the patients entrusted to them. Without nurses, it would not be possible to treat the many who require medical treatment or to care for the many whose conditions require monitoring."
