Registered Nurse

Alright, let's talk about this nursing job at Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Hospital in Knoxville, TN. I've been placing people here for a while, and they run a serious operation. It's inpatient rehab, so you're helping people through some of the toughest recoveries of their lives. The work is hard, but it's the kind of hard that actually means something. You'll see progress every week.

What you'd be doing

You're the nurse running the show for your patients. That means you're assessing them, supervising their care and treatments, and building out their individual care plans. You'll work directly with patients and their families; understanding what they need is how you help them get better.

• You’re the point person. You collaborate with different departments to make sure care is coordinated.
• When things get complex, other staff will look to you as a resource.
• A big part of the job is providing direct patient care yourself.
• And honestly, one of the best parts is celebrating those patient victories, big and small.

What you need to bring

The non negotiables first. You must have a valid RN license for our state. You also need current CPR certification.

• If you have your ACLS cert, that’s a definite plus.
• A Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse (CRRN) credential is preferred too.
• They really want someone who gets this setting. Having at least one year of experience in a rehabilitation hospital puts you ahead.
