RN Duties and Responsibilities in Hospitals

Registered nurses work in hospitals more than any other work environment. State, local and private hospitals comprise 61 percent of registered nursing positions, according to the BLS.

Registered nurses in hospitals perform many of the typical duties listed previously. After obtaining the needed level of education, experience and qualifications, registered nurses can enter a specialization that will alter fundamental duties and responsibilities. The following examples illustrate some of the opportunities that are possible.

Cardiac nurses: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiac nurses help patients suffering from heart disease, recovering from heart surgery and receiving treatment for all types of heart conditions. These nurses receive special training for treating physical symptoms of cardiac patients, as well as the emotional, nutritional and ongoing needs of this group of patients.


Critical care nurses: Patients with serious and acute illnesses and injuries require close monitoring and treatment. Critical care nurses use advanced knowledge and skills to perform assessments, provide intensive therapy and intervention, advocate for patients and operate life support systems.


Neonatology nurses: Neonatology nurses care for premature and critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of hospitals. Responsibilities include administering medications, recording newborns’ status and progress, and educating new mothers about their baby and any questions they may have about caring for their baby.


Perioperative nurses: Perioperative or surgical/operating room nurses care for patients before, during and after surgery. These nurses maintain a sterile operating room during surgery, monitor patients during surgery and help patients prepare for and recover from surgery.
