Department Details

The rehab nurse utilizes critical thinking and hands on skills to care for and educate a wide variety of patient populations (recovery from stroke, trauma, brain injury, medical debilitation, post-COVID syndrome, etc.). Patients who are admitted to the unit range in age from adolescents to older adults. They require a hospital level of nursing and physician care, while tolerating a rigorous therapy schedule.

As a rehab nurse, you will be part of a dedicated interdisciplinary team comprised of physiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, therapeutic recreation specialists, dieticians, nurse case managers and social workers. This team collaborates to ensure patient safety and great patient experience, consisting of three hours of therapy daily.

Rehab nurses build strong relationships with their patients and caregivers largely due to the patient’s length of stay being on average 14 days. During the patient’s stay, nurses have time to get to know and educate their patients to prepare them for getting back to their community and life!

Sanford’s 21-bed unit pursues a rigorous international accreditation process through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). The unit is accredited in two programs, the Comprehensive Rehab Program and the Stroke Specialty Program. This process is in addition to hospital accreditation such as Joint Commission and Magnet.
