The main responsibilities of a Nursing Intern involve taking care of patients under the guidance of a Registered Nurse or a Doctor. They should also perform duties such as providing health care in clinical or nursing settings to the clients and should have good communication skills. Responsibilities include preparing charts, assessment of the patient’s recovery, discharge of the patient and educating the patient if required based on logical evidence.
