Summary

Registered Nurses are a key member of the multi-disciplinary team that collaborates to provide patient-centered care. Within the Nursing Department, RNs coordinate, direct, delegate, and provide care to multiple patients. Using a patient- and family-centered care approach, each RN develops relationships with patients, families, and colleagues to enhance the quality of care provided. Nursing care is performed with compassion and courtesy, and each RN follows departmental policies and service standards. Patient and family education is a primary focus of rehabilitation nursing and is a critical aspect of the team\'s efforts to assist patients to gain independence, apply adaptation strategies, and return home.
