Nursing And Rehabilitation

» Nursing & Rehabilitation - Overview «

The Nursing and Rehabilitation division (N&R or NR) serves as the primary caregiving unit for patients health and physical needs. The division carries out the usual nurse tasks such as recording relevant patient information, monitoring patients, administering medicine, performing tests, and more. N&R also specializes in rehabilitation and caregiving of Class-E patients, who may have difficult and extreme anomalous trauma or illness.

The Nursing and Rehabilitation division (N&R or NR) was established in 1999 together with H&P to comply with the 1984 SCP Foundation Facility Standards. However, at this time, the division was only "Nursing," which changed in 2015 with the expansion of MD. Nursing and Rehabilitation plays an essential role in medical affairs. The division manages all the basic nursing tasks such as recording relevant patient information, monitoring patients, administering medicine, performing tests, and more. N&R is also the primary caretaker of both permanent and temporary Class-E patients, being the ones that are responsible for their rehabilitation and health.

The nature of the SCP Foundation requires N&R nurses to be exceptionally trained and educated. While a civilian nurse might be checking a patient's blood pressure and pulse rate, an N&R nurse would check essential measurements such as the internal hume level. The job of an N&R nurse is therefore intensive, requiring communication between specialized doctors and auxiliary experts. Unforeseen consequences to staff are unfortunately common in the SCP Foundation, and often, they lead to permanently debilitating anomalous injuries and trauma. A big part of N&R is, for that reason, rehabilitating patients, or, more specifically, Class-E patients.

Rehabilitating Class-E patients is a complex and exhaustive process as there is rarely ever a clear and known path for treatment. But with the usage of highly advanced and possibly even paranormal technology, the N&R, with their extensive training, can help even the most unusual patients.

Becoming a nurse requires acquiring a degree from an accredited parascientific institution. The International Center for Occultic Studies (ICOS) remains the largest producer of new medical staff due to its connection to Site-21. The lowest ranking nurses, such as the CNAs and LPNs, become nurses by acquiring a Bachelor of Parascience in Nursing (B.P.N.) The Registered Nurses (RN) earn their position by obtaining a Master of Parascience in Nursing (M.P.N.). The Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN), however, gain their rank through a Doctor of Paranormal Nursing Practice (DPNP). A DPNP requires the nurse to specialize in a paranormal-medicine nursing field.
