Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/registered-nurse

A registered nurse (RN) delivers direct patient care, performs clinical assessments, administers IV therapy, and coordinates care across the healthcare team, all while documenting in EHR systems like Epic or Cerner. RNs work across virtually every healthcare setting, from hospital floors to outpatient clinics to home health, and serve as the primary point of contact between patients and the broader care team. The role requires a nursing degree and licensure, along with strong clinical judgment and communication skills.
