RN Inpatient Rehab

Registered Nurse Inpatient Rehabilitation

Strong staffing support when it matters most. Technology and tools that streamline patient monitoring and communication to help you work more efficiently. Robust supply chains to keep you fully equipped. Ongoing clinical education to improve your skills. As a Registered Nurse at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, you'll have all the staffing support, technology and resources you need to deliver safe, high-quality care—so you can focus on what you do best.

One of the most beneficial aspects of working on Inpatient Rehabilitation is being able to see the progression of our patients. We're with our patients for over 12 days from start to finish of their journey and the last step before they return to their lives. While many specialties focus on a single medical need of a patient—such as the patient's cardiac function or renal function—we take a comprehensive view, considering both the patient's medical needs and their functional needs. We ask questions such as, 'How many stairs do you have in your home? Is your bedroom on the first floor or the second floor? Who cooks your meals, who does your laundry?' Being able to have a window in our patients' lives and fully understand the impact we're making is very special.

If you're drawn to caring for patients' medical and functional healthcare needs, longer patient relationships, and a collaborative environment with a skilled interdisciplinary team where your insights into a patient's progress play a crucial role to their ongoing plan of care, then Inpatient Rehabilitation may be the perfect fit for you. As a Resident II Nurse on Inpatient Rehabilitation, you'll support patients in their "what's next" journey—helping them regain independence after an illness or injury. You'll provide medical acute care and use innovative tools like simulated home environments and cognitive rehab software to aid your patients' functional progress. You will educate patients and their families on their medical progress and strategies to support them in regaining independence. Working closely with physicians, PT, OT, Speech Therapy, and Case Management, you'll be a part of team conferences to assess progress and plan next steps. With an average patient stay of 2–3 weeks, you'll have the chance to impact patients in a manner many will never forget and witness each patient's tangible progress from admission to discharge.

Patient Care Delivery: As a Resident II Registered Nurse on Inpatient Rehabilitation, you'll deliver high-quality, patient-centered care through patient assessment, procedures, medication administration, and close monitoring of patients' therapeutic responses. You will apply established nursing models such as "Assess, Perform, Teach and Manage" to guide your practice.

Documentation: You will promptly document patient conditions, care provided, and patient responses in their medical record. You will report any changes in status or treatment responses to the provider and intervene as needed.

Interdisciplinary Team Collaboration: You will serve as a vital member of a diverse multidisciplinary team—including medical providers, allied health professionals, and nursing support—working collaboratively to deliver holistic, patient-centered care.

Patient Education: You will educate patients on their medical condition, treatment plans, medications, possible side effects, follow-up measures, and more.

Clinical Excellence: You will engage in evidence-based best practices and continuous process improvement initiatives that enhance the patient experience and patient outcomes, including SAFETY rounding, communication fundamentals/AIDET, Teach-Back, Narrating Care, etc.
