A head nurse oversees the nursing unit at a hospital or other clinical healthcare facility. As a head nurse, your responsibilities include training the nursing staff, scheduling shifts, monitoring the department budget, and ensuring patients receive the treatment prescribed by their doctor. Other nurses turn to the head nurse when they have questions or concerns about their duties. You may also be involved in hiring new nursing staff, evaluating the current nursing team, and recommending termination for nurses who do not meet hospital standards of care.
| Aspect | Head Nurse | Registered Nurse |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | RN license, additional leadership training | RN license, possibly specialty certifications |
| Work Environment | Supervisory role in hospitals, clinics, or healthcare facilities | Direct patient care in various settings |
| Responsibilities | Oversees nursing staff, manages patient care protocols, coordinates team activities | Provides direct patient care, administers treatments, monitors patient progress |
In summary, while both Head Nurses and Registered Nurses hold RN licenses and work in healthcare settings, Head Nurses have additional leadership responsibilities, overseeing staff and managing patient care teams. Registered Nurses focus primarily on direct patient care and clinical tasks.
