Nursing is a profession that provides for the physical and emotional needs of human beings from birth to the end of life. Registered Nurses (RN's) work as patient advocates to promote health, prevent disease, and help people cope with illness. When providing direct patient care, Registered Nurses observe, assess, and record symptoms, reactions, and progress; administer medications; instruct patients and families in proper care, and assist in convalescence and rehabilitation
