TEACHING, LEARNING & LEADERSHIP 2
Introduction
Nurses are considered to be an important aspect of the healthcare department. The
main responsibility of a nurse is to take care of the patients. Quality care of nurses can show
positive results in the health of the patients. Nursing has also changed its style. Nursing has
updated itself and now the most important element that is been involved in nursing is the
leadership style. Leadership in nursing is important because it will help nurses in providing
better care to the patient (WHO, 2020). Nurses will also be able to handle and manage
issues. Registered nurses are expected to provide quality care and they are also expected to
show their leadership skills and manage all the activities of the hospital. Registered nurses are
expected to follow a model that is set by the department of healthcare and they can also
provide training to other nurses. In this discussion, a critical evaluation of the responsibilities
of a registered nurse will be presented. Identification of leadership skills and methods of
providing care will also be presented.

Registered Nurses are considered to be those nurses who are graduated from a nursing
program. Registered nurses are also known as the team players and they are also expected to
contribute to the mission of the team (All Star Directories, Inc, 2020). Certain
responsibilities are expected to be fulfilled by registered nurses and they are as follows:
 Evaluating and reporting the symptoms of patients.
 Help during operations and surgeries.
 Providing knowledge regarding self-care and health.
 They are considered supervisors.
 Treating patients.

nurses are expected to deliver their best performance. For that, there is a requirement of
proper and finite plans that can be helpful for nurses. This approach is to analyse and
coordinate the efforts of nurses. There are many complex procedures and situations through
which nurses have to pass through every day. For that proper training and expertise
