Long Term Care Nurse (SNF/LTC RN)

Long Term Care Rn Services

Long term care RN services can be necessary over the short term for rehabilitation from an illness or injury, or they may be required over the long term for patients who need care on a frequent or around-the-clock basis due to a chronic medical condition. Examples of skilled nursing services include wound care, intravenous (IV) therapy, injections, physical therapy, and monitoring of vital signs and medical equipment. LTC RN's can work in a variety of settings including camps, clinics, schools, and ambulatory care centers but typically work at skilled nursing facilities.
