The Registered Nurse is part of a team concept in the clinic setting with the goal of providing primary and specialty care with an emphasis on disease prevention and health maintenance. The RN is responsible for assessing, implementing, coordinating, delegating, and evaluating the care of clinic patients. Registered Nurses should have a caring, sympathetic nature and the ability to relate to the public regardless of ethnic, religious or economic status. They also should have keen observational, decision making, and communication skills.
