Rehabilitation Nursing

A rehabilitation nurse is a specialized healthcare professional who focuses on supporting patients dealing with impairments and chronic conditions to attain their best possible level of function, health, and adjustment to their lifestyle. These nurses facilitate patients' progression toward greater independence by helping them set realistic goals and develop treatment plans. Often, they coordinate patient care and team activities within a multidisciplinary healthcare team. Rehabilitation nurses play a crucial role in restoring and sustaining functionality while preventing potential issues. They offer education, counseling, and case management services to patients and their families, serving as advocates and occasionally contributing to research to enhance rehabilitation practices.
