RN Jobs in Durango, CO

Registered Nurses (RN) play a pivotal role in the nursing industry, providing critical care and support to patients across a variety of healthcare settings. These professionals are responsible for assessing patient conditions, recording medical histories, administering treatments, performing diagnostic tests, and educating patients on their illnesses or injuries. RNs are also essential in implementing and evaluating patient care plans, communicating with healthcare teams, and advocating for patient rights. They may specialize in various areas such as critical care, pediatrics, or geriatrics.

Before becoming a RN, a person may have roles such as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), or a Medical Assistant (MA). These positions provide valuable experience and insight into the nursing profession. To become a RN, individuals must earn a diploma, associate degree, or bachelor's degree in nursing. They must then pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become licensed. Additional certifications and skills RNs should have include Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). Critical thinking, communication, empathy, and attention to detail are also vital skills for this role.
