Rehabilitation Nursing
A clinical nurse specialist focusing on rehabilitation may work in a hospital, a long-term care facility or for various health care agencies. The Rehabilitation CNS focuses both on helping patients recover from debilitating injuries and diseases and on providing education and support for these patients as they move from health care facilities back into their daily lives. Like many CNSs, the Rehabilitation CNS may function variously as a clinician, consultant, researcher, educator, case manager and administrator.
