HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The registered nurse is a nurse who has successfully graduated in nursing program and carries
a valid nursing licence and also meets the requirements outlined by the country, state or a
province. The scope of practice for the registered nurse is decided by legislation and
controlled by a governing body or council. Since the registered nurses are the most
experienced nurse, theyhave the highest clinical expertise(Hickman et al, 2020). The role of
the registered nurse in a healthcare settings is to monitor, evaluate and record the vital signs,
review the progress of treatment of the patient and measure the progress. They also
collaborate with the physicians and act as an assistant during surgeries. Being the senior
most, they are involved in giving education and knowledge to the junior nurses and helps in
their skill development(Bodenheimer & Mason, 2016).
Discussion
Challenges faced by the registered nurse
The challenges and problems faced by the Registered nurses in a healthcare organization are:
 Compensation and benefits: Regarding nursing compensation, there seems to exist a
regional disparity based on the cost of living. It is found that the registered nurses of
United States earn much more than the registered nurses belonging to other regions.
Gender biasness is also prevalent regarding compensation and pay gaps of the
registered nurses. It is found that the male registered nurse make much more money
on an average when compared to their female counterparts. The gender biasness was
found mostly in the orthopaedics department, however the department of chronic care
had the smallest pay gap opposite to the registered nurses belonging to the cardiology
department enjoyed highest compensation and benefits(Behrens, 2018).
 Workplace violence: It is the most common issue faced by the registered nurses,
where they becomes victims of violence and aggression by their fellow nurses,
physicians or the family members of the patients. It greatly impacted the quality of
health care, increase absenteeism among the nurses as the nurse felt reluctant and
hesitated to approach others due to the fear of getting violated again. This questions
the safety and security of the nurses in the hospitals.
