The Role of an RN in Long Term Care

Registered nurses (RNs) provide medical care, education, and comfort to residents in long term care settings including nursing facilities, assisted living and residential care facilities, and in-home care settings. RNs are qualified to address an array of medical situations and administer medications and IVs. They may direct other medical providers, technicians, or volunteers.

How to Become an RN

RNs must complete a nursing program and meet state licensing requirements.
