The rehabilitation process for patients and families is a complex journey. The rehabilitation nurse is a vital part of that journey, helping guide patients as they adapt to a new normal.

Nurses find a wealth of opportunities for professional growth at TIRR Memorial Hermann and the Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Network. Our nurses are empowered to actively work to reimagine rehabilitation nursing practice by generating ideas, using evidence-based practices and conducting research.

Additionally, education opportunities abound. If you are a recent graduate or new to inpatient rehabilitation, we provide a solid support structure to help you navigate your first year and gain competency in rehabilitation through the Nurse Residency Program and the Nursing Rehabilitation Academy. If you are an experienced nurse, we’ll help you hone your practice by investing in your ongoing education and professional development.

Annually, TIRR Memorial Hermann invites a group of high school students to our facilities for a day of learning and inspiration in collaboration with CompassRN. This nonprofit organization introduces youth in historically under-sourced areas to health education and the field of nursing. Students visit stations covering various aspects of care and interact with health care professionals to learn about their roles and responsibilities. We are proud to support programs like these to support the next generation of health care professionals.
