Mary Free Bed Sub-Acute Rehabilitation is a nationally recognized, 5-star short-term rehab facility and a U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Home. Our Sub-Acute Rehab Unit provides patient-centered care for individuals who need continued rehabilitation and skilled nursing support at a slower, more gradual pace.

We care for adults with a wide range of conditions, including orthopedic surgery, complex fractures, cardiac recovery, cancer, amputation, and multiple injuries, helping patients regain independence and safely return home.

As an RN in sub-acute rehab, you'll provide comprehensive nursing care, including patient assessments, care planning, medication administration, and clinical oversight, while collaborating closely with LPNs, therapists, and providers to support steady recovery. RNs play a key role in coordinating care, monitoring patient progress, and supporting safe discharge planning.

This unit is ideal for nurses who value clinical autonomy, interdisciplinary teamwork, and building meaningful patient relationships while helping patients regain independence and safely return home.

• Staff will provide patient care, treatment, and services within the scope of their license, certification or registration and as required by law and regulation.

• Quality Nursing Care – The Registered Nurse is responsible for all nursing care provided to patients at Mary Free Bed. Through careful assessment of each patient, interdisciplinary collaboration, and critical thinking, each RN develops and/or follows a patient-centered plan of care that aligns with the priorities and plans developed by the attending physician and other disciplines. The RN coordinates care for non-licensed staff through delegation and follow-up, to assure that all care provided follows departmental policies and procedures.
• Quality Improvement – Mary Free Bed is committed to providing rehabilitation services that are of the highest possible quality. Opportunities for improvement are valued, as staff and leaders will take advantage of lessons learned to improve future services. Each RN will participate in performance improvement through identification of ways to improve care, reporting unexpected events or medical errors, and reporting "near misses".
  
  As requested, the RNs will participate in data collection and documentation audits to assist the Nursing Department with quality improvement measures.
• Patient Safety – Each RN is responsible to promote safety for all patients served by following all applicable department policies and procedures. RNs will understand and contribute to the initiatives that are in place to improve the safety of the patients served. Additionally, a culture of patient safety is very important at MFB, and this requires all employees to be able to identify and report unexpected events and near misses without the fear of reprisal or retaliation.
  
  Retaliation or intimidation towards another employee for reporting unexpected events or near misses will not be tolerated. Finally, when threats to patient safety are identified, or opportunities for improvement are noted, these will be communicated with a member of the Nursing Leadership Team in a timely manner.

• Customer Service – Each Registered Nurse is required to demonstrate excellent customer service standards and behaviors, while interacting with patients, family members, physicians, and colleagues. The Mary Free Bed Standards of Behavior outlines expectations for performance in this area. Each RN must…
