A registered practical nurse (RPN) is a healthcare professional who has completed a practical nursing program and is registered with the appropriate nursing regulatory body in their country or state. RPNs provide nursing care, administer medications, monitor patients' health conditions, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure the well-being of patients. They work in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, and community health centers. The specific scope of practice for RPNs may vary depending on the jurisdiction in which they are registered.
