About the company
Mary Free Bed Sub-Acute Rehabilitation is a nationally recognized, 5-star short-term rehab facility and a U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Home. Our Sub-Acute Rehab Unit provides patient-centered care for individuals who need continued rehabilitation and skilled nursing support at a slower, more gradual pace.
We care for adults with a wide range of conditions, including orthopedic surgery, complex fractures, cardiac recovery, cancer, amputation, and multiple injuries, helping patients regain independence and safely return home.
About the role
As an RN in sub-acute rehab, you’ll provide comprehensive nursing care, including patient assessments, care planning, medication administration, and clinical oversight, while collaborating closely with LPNs, therapists, and providers to support steady recovery. RNs play a key role in coordinating care, monitoring patient progress, and supporting safe discharge planning.
This unit is ideal for nurses who value clinical autonomy, interdisciplinary teamwork, and building meaningful patient relationships while helping patients regain independence and safely return home.
Summary
Registered Nurses are a key member of the multi-disciplinary team that collaborates together 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 that enhance the quality of care provided. Nursing care is performed with compassion and courtesy, and each RN is responsible for following departmental policies and service standards. Patient and family education is a primary focus of rehabilitation nursing and is a critical aspect of the interdisciplinary team’s efforts to assist patients to gain independence, apply adaptation strategies, and return home.
