Good question...
Rehab utilizes a little bit of everything... Med-Surg, Neuro, ortho, cardiac, physicial, oncology, Surgery... you name it, you do it...
Dressings, drains, pins, halos, burns, decubiti, knees, hips, TBI's of all stages....
The patients tend to be a touch less acute than med surg or surgery. but, they tend to get sick fast...
A lot of the work is lifting and pulling... lots of muscles grow that way...
but-- its very fufulling to see someone get better...
Enjoy your new job!
