The questionnaire included frequency, importance, and difficulty of duties and tasks. The data were collected in March and April 2009, analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: The job description of rehabilitation nurse in Korea revealed 11 duties, and 61 tasks. On the all 11 duties, the highest duty in frequency and importance was direct nursing care ($2.47{\pm}.31$, $2.77{\pm}2.8$) and the highest duty in difficulty was self-development ($2.39{\pm}.48$). Among the tasks of duties 'direct nursing care' in 'manage medication' ($2.87{\pm}.35$) in frequency, the task 'prevent and manage bedsore' ($2.91{\pm}.31$) of duty 'direct nursing care' in importance, and 'cope emergency situations' ($2.72{\pm}.49$) of duty direct nursing care in difficulty showed the highest degree.
