A Registered Nurse (RN) provides professional nursing care to patients to ensure their comfort and well‐being. RNs administer prescribed medications and treatments, perform diagnostic tests and analyze results, and maintain residents’ medical records upon observation. They also oversee other workers such as LPNs and CNAs and may assist a physician/medical director during treatment and examination of a resident.
A Registered Nurse (RN) must graduate from a state approved or accredited nursing education program, pass the state approved examination and be listed in good standing on the RN Registry with the Florida Department of Health. Individuals must also clear the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) fingerprinting and Level 2 background checks and cannot be listed on the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General’s List of Excluded Individuals and Entities.
