Hi Adriananna,

Thanks for the question.

There are a variety of types of nurses, drawing from a mix of the different methods of categorizing their roles. They are not mutually exclusive. For example, RNs can be found in many different setting and roles. The below website should provide more details on the various types: https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-are-the-different-types-of-nurses-1736354
