Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation is a nationally recognized leader in inpatient rehabilitation, delivering hospital-level care for patients with complex medical needs. Our Inpatient Acute Rehab Brain Injury Unit specializes in caring for patients recovering from traumatic brain injury, stroke-related brain injury, anoxic injuries, and other neurological conditions that require intensive rehabilitation and close medical and cognitive monitoring.

As an RN in inpatient acute rehab, you’ll provide comprehensive nursing care including detailed neurological assessments, care planning, medication administration, and clinical coordination for patients with brain injuries.

You’ll collaborate closely with LPNs, physicians, neuropsychology, and interdisciplinary therapy teams to manage higher-acuity neurological conditions, support intensive rehabilitation, and drive safe, patient-centered discharge planning.

This unit is ideal for RNs who value clinical autonomy, strong interdisciplinary teamwork, and the opportunity to support patients through complex neurological recovery in a fast-paced, hospital-based rehabilitation environment—where you can see meaningful functional and cognitive progress in a short period of time.

The Registered Nurse is responsible for all nursing care provided to patients at Mary Free Bed.

Each RN is required to demonstrate excellent customer service standards and behaviors while interacting with patients, family members, physicians, and colleagues.

The RN must deal discreetly and sensitively with confidential information and, as needed, perform customer service recovery with patients and families’ members.
