Hello Everyone, I graduated recently and got a job in an inpatient rehab unit at a local hospital. I've never had any experience working in rehab setting. I just want to know what skills / knowledge I need to have in order to ease my transition in this unit. From what I've observed in my orientation last week their patient population is mostly hip/knee replacement, fractures, amputation and so on. Please send me links to educational resources that I could use. Thanks!

Hi, I am a new graduate nurse currently living in Toronto. I've been looking for an RN position since last year. Recently, I am offered a permanent part time position in london health sciences centre at london, ON in their Palliative Unit. The only problem is I also got an offer for a temp part time position at Lakeridge hospital in Oshawa in their In patient Rehab unit. Now, I am confused whether to which position to take. Convenience wise, Lakeridge is closer to home and I dont have to rent. However, being a temp part time bothers me the most because of the instability of the job. London Health Sciences on the other hand, is a huge teaching hospital. A new grad like me would benefit to their mentorship program. However, I love Toronto and my family is here.
