a RN vs an RN

Both 'a rn' and 'an rn' are not correct constructions in English. The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, while 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. In this case, 'rn' is an abbreviation for 'registered nurse,' which starts with a consonant sound, so 'a rn' is the correct form.
