Nurses on this unit care for patients with a variety of neurological diagnoses, including acute stroke, seizure disorders, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgical recovery, spinal conditions, altered mental status, and other complex neurological illnesses requiring continuous monitoring and specialized care. This is an ideal environment for nurses who thrive in a fast-paced setting, enjoy caring for higher-acuity patients, and are passionate about advancing their knowledge in neuroscience and intermediate care.

- Stroke (embolic & hemorrhagic)
- Subdural & subarachnoid hemorrhages
- Seizures, mild-to-moderate TBIs, lumbar drains
Support medical overflow such as DKA, respiratory complications, sepsis, trachs, and stable vents
Collaborate with supportive roles to focus on care planning and critical decision-making
Occasionally support patients in sister cardiac and medical units

What We're Looking For

Education: 4 Year / Bachelors Degree, preferred. Graduate of an accredited school of nursing required. If your RN nursing license has been inactive, retired or lapsed for five years or more and you have not been licensed in another state during the last five years, successful completion of a Board approved refresher course is required prior to reactivating or reinstating your license. In order to be considered for current licensure status, you must apply for reinstatement within one year of completing the refresher course.
