Talk:Registered nurse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, I am a Class rep. for my Nursing class 2008 and I am trying to put together a speech that incorporates Florence Nightengale and any saying or speeches she may have said. I would like to pay a tribute to her for finding the profession that my class and I have worked so hard to achieve. If anyone would like to give me suggestions or ques where to go I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.158.67.184 (talk) 07:34, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I think that this should be merged with Nurse Matt 16:32, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)


This article refers exclusively to the U.S. . A more global perspective is required . All nurses in the U.K. on qualification take the title Registered Nurse. Can some information be added referring to role of the R.N. in the U.K. , and other parts of the world where the title exists.

[edit] Update

[edit] Becoming an RN

If you do a good search in a search engine you will find nursing schools that will tell you what the entrance requirements are. I am from the UK so I don't have a clue about the American system. Panthro 11:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalisation.

Shouldn't the title registered nurse be in lower case? See District nurse, Health visitor. Panthro 15:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)


--Yes it should. The capitalisation rules can be found here, and state that the capitalised title chould be used when adressing a specific person, or to the profession as a whole. It should also be caps when used in a signature line..For example....."Nurse Marcum, Please prepare to defibilate the patient" Or as in "L. Marcum, Registered Nurse". Most other situations require it to be treated as a regular noun.

Hope this helps.

[edit] Re: edits

Hi all. I modified this page and removed this line Ashley A. is the BEST registered nurse in Virginia and even the world. She makes her husband and her daughter very proud. Not to knock on Ashley A, i'm sure that she is a very good nurse, but it doesn't exactly meet the objectivity standards we strive for here. LucasRN 17:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


Yes, I concur as I am the best nurse in the world. How dare she :P Panthro 23:07, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

both of you stink I am the best.. Joe RN —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.6.196 (talk) 18:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Headline text

[edit] Bursary

Under the pre-registration tag for the UK, it states

"Diploma students in England receive a non-means-tested bursary of around £6000 per year (with additional allowances for mature students or those with dependent children)..."

However, I think with the introduction of the Age Discrimnation Act from the EU in 2007, this was revised by the NHS, as allowing more money depending on the age ran foul with teh act. I haven't got any definite links, so if someone could do the 'search that'd be great, otherwise I'll just do it when I have more spare time. :) Londonsista (talk) 20:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
