What is the PMR Unit like for a CNA?

I have a job interview tomorrow for a Patient Care Tech job at a hospital in their PMR unit. I don't really know what that is, but from what I found online it may be PM&R, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. So I'm assuming the work is similar to a rehab facility?

Also, how would you compare the PMR unit to a med/surg unit & the work for a CNA?

thanks!

On our rehab unit the aides are busy. They have patients who are all not supposed to get up without help. There will be quite a bit of lifting to do. Assisting to the bathroom, using wheelchairs, walkers, prosthetics, etc.
