Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation is a nationally recognized leader in inpatient rehabilitation, providing hospital-level care for patients with complex medical needs. Our Inpatient Acute Rehab Medically Complex Unit specializes in caring for patients recovering from cardiac conditions, cancer-related diagnoses, and other medically complex illnesses who require intensive rehabilitation alongside close medical and nursing oversight.

Summary

Registered Nurse (RN) in inpatient acute rehab provides comprehensive nursing care to medically complex patients, utilizing advanced clinical assessment, care planning, and critical thinking skills. You will manage higher-acuity patient needs, administer and evaluate complex medication regimens, coordinate care, and respond to changing patient conditions in collaboration with physicians and interdisciplinary therapy teams.

RNs play a key role in clinical leadership at the bedside, supporting safe recovery, managing chronic and acute conditions, and promoting patient independence in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

This unit is ideal for RNs who thrive in a hospital-based setting, enjoy caring for patients with higher medical acuity, and want to make a meaningful impact through intensive, interdisciplinary rehabilitation while continuing to grow their clinical expertise.

• Staff will provide patient care, treatment, and services within the scope of their license, certification or registration and as required by law and regulation.

Quality Pillar of Excellence

• Quality Nursing Care - The Registered Nurse is responsible for all nursing care provided to patients at Mary Free Bed. Through careful assessment of each patient, interdisciplinary collaboration, and critical thinking, each RN develops and/or follows a patient-centered plan of care that aligns with the priorities and plans developed by the attending physician and other disciplines. The RN coordinates care for non-licensed staff through delegation and follow-up, to assure that all care provided follows departmental policies and procedures.

• Quality Improvement - Mary Free Bed is committed to providing rehabilitation services that are of the highest possible quality. Opportunities for improvement are valued, as staff and leaders will take advantage of lessons learned to improve future services. Each RN will participate in performance improvement through identification of ways to improve care, reporting unexpected events or medical errors, and reporting "near misses".
  
  As requested, the RNs will participate in data collection and documentation audits to assist the Nursing Department with quality improvement measures.

• Patient Safety - Each RN is responsible to promote safety for all patients served by following all applicable department policies and procedures. RNs will understand and contribute to the initiatives that are in place to improve the safety of the patients served. Additionally, a culture of patient safety is very important at MFB, and this requires all employees to be able to identify and report unexpected events and near misses without the fear of reprisal or retaliation.
  
  Retaliation or intimidation towards another employee for reporting unexpected events or near misses will not be tolerated. Finally, when threats to patient safety are identified, or opportunities for improvement are noted, these will be communicated with a member of the Nursing Leadership Team in a timely manner.

Service Pillar of Excellence

  The RN will also take active steps to recognize unique cultural and religious needs of patients and families and integrate these diverse needs into a patient-specific plan of care that aims to exceed expectations.
• Physician and colleague relationships - Interdisciplinary team integration and collaboration across disciplines to provide patient-centered care is a priority. Maintaining effective working relationships with admitting and consulting physicians is an important responsibility of each RN. In addition, each RN is…
