RN Inpatient Rehab

As a RN Inpatient Rehab, your voice to influence patient care is valued and empowered at every turn –whether through open, collaborative relationships with your direct manager or more formal opportunities through hospital councils and national nursing initiatives. You'll help shape decisions that elevate both patient outcomes and the future of nursing. Job Summary And Qualifications 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.
