A registered nurse (RN) is a licensed medical professional who provides hands-on care in different medical and community settings.
RNs provide and coordinate patient care. They also provide education to patients and the public about illnesses, diseases, and health conditions. They’re licensed medical professionals who work with patients, doctors, and other health care workers.

Highly experienced nurses can even get an income in the band of Rs 48,000 to Rs 72,000 per month.
