Registered nurses have several duties and responsibilities that can range depending on the organization that they work for. Registered Nurse’s may be employed in physicians' offices, schools, hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, clinics, and even in prison settings.

The licensed healthcare professionals include physicians, nurse practitioners or physician's assistants. The daily actions of an RN may include receiving a patient assignment, assessment of each patient, administering medications, attending to patient needs, facilitating patient, assisting the physician with bedside procedures, monitoring laboratory results, and monitoring for any changes in condition.

It has always been a dream of mine to pursue a career as a Neonatal Nurse. I chose this career because my love for babies/infants started out at a young age, and as I developed in school, I learned that I have a passion for science and the medical field.

These nurses also work with the families of the babies in comforting and educating the parents as to what to expect and how to properly care for their baby.
