Your Role as a Registered Nurse

Registered Nurses have increased responsibilities and work under the direction of a Physician, Nurse Practitioner or Physician’s Assistant. RNs are responsible for assessing a patient’s condition, recording the patient medical history and symptoms, and observing the patient’s condition and recording those observations. RNs are also responsible for setting up patient care plans, administering patient medications and treatments, assisting in patient diagnostic tests, and analyzing test results. One of the most important functions of an RN is to consult with doctors and other healthcare professionals to effectively educate patients on how to manage their care at home after their medical treatment. RNs play a crucial role in patient care and family support during times of medical crisis.

A "Course Waived - CW" grade will appear on the student's transcript.

Graduates of Taylor College Practical Nursing Program are exempt from the skills test.
