| What does Rehabilitation Nursing means to me: | |
| “I think rehabilitation nursing is the epitome of what Florence Nightingale envisioned when she conceptualized the nursing profession. A rehabilitation nurse must have patience, empathy, and skills that include teaching and planning to prepare persons with impairments, disabilities and chronic diseases as they overcome obstacles to return to a normal, functioning life.” | |
