Any neuro/surgical ICU nurses out there?

I have done M/S ICU for 18 years now (nurse for 21 years),but just started my first job in a NEURO ICU. I am shocked by how much I don't know. I acually joined this forum in hopes of finding some resources out there. Bought the latest neuro-surgical book, but my firm bellief is that theory doesn't touch practice and experience. If i know you're out there I will be presenting questions and scenarios for your much appreciated input. So... Please let me know if your there.

I started worked in Neuro-Trauma ICU's after 6 years of CVICU & MICU. It is a challenge and definately a learning experience.

Re: Any neuro/surgical ICU nurses out there?

Hi there,

Glad to see this forum. Just graduated with my BSN this past Saturday and will start working in a Neuro ICU in July. So I'm hoping to gather some insight, information and other tips about working in the Neuro ICU.

Yes, I do week nights in the TICU of a level 1 focusing on TBI patients, and weekends on the chopper taking patients to the same TICU, lol.

I knew I wanted to be Neuro Critical Care the first day I enrolled in my pre-nursing. Hopefully, when I finish my ACNP, they will have me.
