Nursing Care

Nursing care is provided by registered nurses twenty-four hours per day. Your nurse will assess your care needs and ensure that you are supported with your recovery. S/he will work with your physician and other members of the care team to plan, coordinate and communicate with you about all aspects of your care from admission to discharge. A nurse will review discharge information with you and/or your family member prior to discharge. Please feel free to ask questions regarding any information, including medications, that you will be taking after discharge.
