Registered Nurse (RN) - Rehab Unit

Your job is more than a job

No two days and no two patients are alike in the world of rehab nursing. You champion multiple patients as they begin their rehabilitation journey. With each different diagnosis, you encourage, comfort, and ready your patients for therapy, interacting with physicians, case managers, therapists and families as part of a team care approach. You celebrate the ordinary, because in the world of rehabilitation, picking up a toothbrush or walking 25 feet may be extraordinary milestones for your patient.   

  

And while you focus on your patient’s “extraordinary”, we focus on you with the concrete resources that foster the “little something extras” to help you live your “extraordinary” too. If a light bulb just went off in your head, then you’re going to love it here and we’re going to love you right back.  

  

Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical nursing role.
