(in short: RN; plural: ‘registered nurses‘)

a qualified and licensed nurse,
a registered nurse with her baby patient
e.g.
Martha passed the state registration exam and is now a registered nurse and can practise nursing in any medical unit.
Though there are a lot of local registered nurses, there is still a dearth of them and the medical department is planning to invite qualified nurses from abroad.
Though the nursing filed is dominated by women, there are more men opting to take nursing courses and becoming registered nurses as there are good positions open for them in many medical institutions.
