skilled nursing

Skilled nursing is a specialized level of healthcare provided by licensed nurses, such as registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), who deliver complex medical care to individuals needing temporary or ongoing assistance. It involves tasks like medication management, wound care, IV therapy, and monitoring vital signs. Skilled nursing can be provided in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, or at a patient's home, ensuring medical needs are properly managed and caregivers are supported. It’s designed for people recovering from illness, surgery, or managing chronic conditions that require professional oversight.
