Can an RN work in a clinic?

An RN working at a clinic can advance to lead clinic nurse or other nurse management positions.

These are just a few job titles available to RNs working in a clinic:

• Registered nurse (RN)

• Nursing assistant

• Licensed practical nurse (LPN)

• Nurse practitioner

• Nurse case manager

• Lead clinic nurse

• Clinical nurse specialist

• Pediatric nurse

On the other hand, an RN working at a hospital also can choose from a variety of departments (e.g., emergency room, cardiovascular) and are needed to fill specialty roles, patient care positions, and management jobs. An RN working at a hospital could also become a charge nurse or a patient care director.
