Utmb Nursing typically refers to nurses working within the UTMB system, often with LVN or nursing degrees, focusing on basic patient care. Registered Nurses (RNs) have a broader scope, including patient assessments and care planning. Both roles are vital in healthcare, but RNs generally have more responsibilities and require a higher level of education and licensure.
