A Registered Nurse (RN) is a licensed healthcare professional who plays a central role in patient care across various healthcare settings. RNs are trained to assess patient conditions, administer medications, coordinate with interdisciplinary teams, and implement individualized care plans tailored to each patient's specific needs. Their scope of practice includes health education, disease prevention, and management of both acute and chronic conditions. Registered Nurses work in hospitals, clinics, community settings, schools, and long-term care facilities. With a strong foundation in clinical knowledge, communication, and critical thinking, RNs are essential in delivering safe, evidence-based, and compassionate care to patients of all ages. This topic will be explored at the 5th World Nursing Research Conference.
