A Rehabilitation Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) is an advanced practice registered nurse with a master’s or doctoral degree who specializes in helping patients with disabling injuries or chronic illnesses regain function and independence. 

They provide patient-centered care, coordinate treatment with a multidisciplinary team, act as advocates, and offer education to patients and their families throughout the entire rehabilitation journey, from acute care through post-acute and community-based settings.

Goal Setting: Collaborate with patients to establish realistic goals that maximize their independence and promote overall wellness.
