Rehabilitation nurses assume pivotal roles in educating patients with SCI and their families and caregivers. Training provided by rehabilitation nurses and the rest of the health-care team members during a patient's rehabilitation stay provides a solid foundation to maximize level of functioning and independence after discharge. Quantifying time spent on nursing education is not routine and perhaps unique to this study. Nurses spent the most time providing education on bladder management followed by bowel management, skin, medication, and pain education. This is not surprising to the nursing leaders who are expert rehabilitation nurses. What will be interesting to learn at the completion of this study is whether a specific threshold of time intensity in any category of nursing education is associated with optimal patient outcomes.
