A Registered Nurse (RN) is a nurse who has graduated from a nursing program and met the requirements outlined by a country, state, province or similar licensing body to obtain a nursing license. RNs fulfill a variety of job duties. In addition to their primary role in treating and caring for patients, their responsibilities also include educating patients and the public about a variety of medical conditions, as well as providing emotional support and advice to the families of their patients. Other RN job functions include leadership, research, performing diagnostic tests and analyzing results, operating medical equipment, administering medications, recording patients’ symptoms and medical histories, and assisting with patient rehabilitation and follow-up.

A travel nurse is a skilled healthcare professional who takes assignments in hospitals that have short term staffing needs. Traveling is an excellent career choice for nurses who have a minimum of 12 months recent acute care clinical experience and want to advance their careers, salaries, or lifestyles. It gives them the opportunity to build their clinical competency through assignments at award-winning facilities while visiting exciting new locations across the country.
