Why Rehab RNs/ Rehabilitation Nurses?
Rehabilitation nurses are an integral part of the recovery process. They help with recovery from illness, injuries or addiction. They work with patients and other allied healthcare professionals to develop treatment plans that promote physical, emotional, and mental independence.
They should be able to assess patients’ physical and functional needs to properly develop and implement treatment plans. Rehab nurses should also be knowledgeable about medical administration, monitoring for side effects, able to care for wounds and injuries, and be proficient in monitoring vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
Some soft skills they should have include effectively being able to communicate with patients, their families, other nurses, and doctors; the ability to understand and share in the ups and downs of rehabilitation; the patience to work with patients who experience setbacks or limitations; and the ability to collaborate with allied healthcare professionals.
Lastly, rehab nurses should be knowledgeable about disease processes that are cause for rehab, like addiction, strokes, and orthopaedic injuries. They should understand rehabilitation techniques like range of motion and strengthening exercises. Rehab nurses should be skilled in discharge planning and outpatient assessment.
