What is a Mercy RN?

A Mercy RN is a registered nurse who works for Mercy, a network of hospitals and healthcare facilities. These nurses provide patient care, administer medications, assist with procedures, and educate patients and families about health conditions. Mercy RNs may work in various departments, such as emergency, surgery, or intensive care, depending on their training and the needs of the facility.
