RGN

RGN is an initialism used for several unrelated terms, depending on context. The most internationally recognizable use is the IATA airport code RGN, which designates Yangon International Airport in Yangon, Myanmar. The airport serves as the country’s largest and busiest aviation hub, handling both international and domestic flights as well as cargo operations.

In the field of health care, RGN stands for Registered General Nurse. This was a historical designation used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to identify nurses who completed general nurse training and were registered with official nursing authorities. With changes to nursing education and registration frameworks, the term has become less common in contemporary practice, and references to RGN typically appear in older records or retrospective discussions of nursing history.

Other uses of RGN occur in regional governance and development contexts, where the initials can stand for terms such as Regional Government Network or Regional Growth Network. These are generic labels for coalitions or networks among regional authorities, economic development agencies, or similar bodies, and there is no single global organization universally known as the “RGN.” As with many acronyms, the intended meaning of RGN is determined by the specific domain and regional context.
