Rehabilitation Travel Nursing Jobs
What is Rehabilitation Nursing? (Rehab Nursing)
Rehabilitation nurses help individuals affected by chronic illness or physical disability to adapt to their disabilities, achieve their greatest potential, and work toward productive, independent lives.
Rehabilitation nurses begin to work with individuals and their families soon after the onset of a disabling injury or chronic illness. They continue to provide support in the form of patient and family education and empower these individuals when they go home or return to work or school.
Rehabilitation nurses base their practice on rehabilitative and restorative principles by
- managing complex medical issues
- collaborating with other specialists
- providing ongoing patient/caregiver education
- setting goals for maximal independence
- establishing plans of care to maintain optimal wellness.
Rehab Travel Nursing Jobs Outlook:
There tends to be an extremely low demand for travel rehabilitation nurses. The reason for this is that many rehabilitation nurses work outside of hospital settings giving hospitals a large local pool to draw from. Some examples of rehabilitation nurse job settings are:
- freestanding rehabilitation facilities
- hospitals (inpatient rehabilitation units)
- long-term subacute care facilities/skilled nursing facilities
- long-term acute care facilities
- comprehensive outpatient rehab facilities
- private practice
- home healthcare agencies
- clinics and day rehabilitation programs
- insurance companies and health maintenance organizations
