An Inova RN generally works 8- or 12-hour shifts, during which they assess patient conditions, administer medications, coordinate care plans, and provide direct patient support. Collaboration is a key part of the role, as RNs regularly communicate with physicians, pharmacists, therapists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive patient care. RNs also participate in team huddles, interdisciplinary rounds, and patient education, which fosters a supportive and collaborative environment. This structure helps ensure that each patient's needs are met efficiently while offering opportunities to learn from a diverse healthcare team.
