Registered Nurse Employment Information
Registered Nurse Job Overview
Registered nurses (RNs) provide fundamental patient care in hospitals, rehab facilities, nursing homes and home health. Registered nurse jobs involve giving patients medicines and treatments, taking medical histories, helping establish care plans, observing patients and recording the observations, consulting with other clinicians, operating medical equipment, performing tests, and educating patients and their families.
Many RNs supervise nursing aides and licensed practical nurses.
Beyond the clinical, RN job opportunities include nurse faculty, consultant, administrator, researcher, medical writer and sales representative.
Registered Nurse Education
RN jobs require a bachelor's degree, associate's degree or diploma. In addition to intensive classroom work, nursing students gain clinical experience in various hospital departments, and perhaps in long-term care or home health.
Registered nurses are licensed by the state where they practice. RNs can also earn specialty certification.
Registered Nurse Job Market
RNs held more than 2.7 million jobs in 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). By 2020, registered nurse employment is projected to grow 26 percent, faster than the average occupation.
Registered Nurse Salaries
The median registered nurse salary was $65,950 in 2011, according to the BLS. The top 10 percent earned $96,630.
