First job

It is of the utmost importance that you absorb as much of your training as possible and ask questions if you're unsure. Rehab is fast-paced and often resembles a miniature med-surg unit because the patients are higher-acuity than the typical long term care residents.

I'd hate to be the 'doomsayer', but rehab has the highest turnover rate of nurses in any facility I have ever been employed. My workplace hired 6 nurses to work in the rehab station during the month of August. 4 of these newly hired nurses have already quit due to a lack of training.

The rehab RNs have always been respectful and thankful for my help.
