A nurse's primary role is to care for patients and coordinate their treatment. In addition, they inform patients and the general public about health issues. They're trained professionals who interact with patients, doctors, and other medical personnel. While registered nurses (RNs) can provide extensive direct patient care, licensed practical nurses (LPNs) typically focus on supporting RNs and physicians. As a result, registered nurses (RNs) play a vital role in the coordination of patient care and the safety and well-being of their patients. An RN can get their license through a variety of educational routes.A nurse may choose to pursue any of the following educational paths:

• a 4-year BSN program (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
• a 2- or 3-year Associate's degree in nursing (ADN or ASN) from an accredited institution.
• a 2- or 3-year hospital or medical Centre diploma program in nursing (which is becoming less frequent).
