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. They take a holistic approach to meeting patients’ medical, vocational, educational, environmental, and spiritual needs. INTEGRIS Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Hospital encourages all RN staff to become a CRRN. When registered nurses become CRRN, it documents their level of knowledge in the specialized area of rehabilitation. Being certified shows a commitment to continued learning in the field of rehabilitation. Eligible staff must be registered nurses with a current unrestricted license and have rehabilitation experience from one to two years depending on other qualifications.
