Nursing home nurses are registered nurses who specialize in providing care to patients who reside in skilled nursing facilities. Nursing home RNs may work with elderly patients and/or patients of various ages with disabilities and have many responsibilities above their primary task of providing compassionate care to residents. RNs are usually considered head nurses in nursing homes and supervise the licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants who provide varying levels of direct patient care. Nursing home RNs are highly skilled and dedicated to a job that can be very demanding.

Nursing home nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Dementia Capable Care (DCC-CPI) or Dementia Capable Care Instructor (DCC-Instructor-CPI), among others.
