What is an Obra RN?

OBRA RNs are Registered Nurses who work in long-term care facilities and are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987. This federal law sets standards for the quality of care in nursing homes, including resident assessments, care planning, and staff training. OBRA RNs play a key role in conducting comprehensive assessments of residents, developing care plans, and ensuring regulatory requirements are met to promote residents' health and well-being.
