RN InPatient Rehab

About the role

We are a 64‑bed Inpatient Rehab Unit that sees a variety of patients who need to work on both their functional and medical problems. We treat orthopedic patients recovering from hip fractures, complex knee replacement, back surgery with neurologic involvement, multi‑trauma, and other orthopedic issues. We also see neurology patients recovering from stroke, brain and spinal cord tumors, traumatic brain injuries, Parkinson’s, MS, and any cancer diagnosis with functional decline. Patients with amputations and other complex medical/surgical issues with functional decline are also admitted.

Patients participate in 15 hours of therapy across the 7‑day week. Nursing continues the interventions practiced by patients in therapy sessions to support safe mobility. For many patients, rehab is the key to getting back home with their families, making this a very rewarding unit where the team takes part in each patient’s progress toward that goal.

Royal Oak Hospital is recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the #2 hospital in Michigan and one of the top hospitals in the country. It is a major academic and referral center with Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma designations. The center has earned Magnet designation four consecutive times and houses Michigan’s first Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence.

The RN, under the ANA scope of practice, utilizes the nursing process framework to provide professional nursing care by incorporating patient‑family centered care principles to assess, plan, implement, evaluate, and discharge.
