Learning how to be a confident and competent neuro nurse is tough. I’ve been a nurse since 2010 and had the honor of working in neurocritical care for a generous portion of my career. While today I am a nurse educator with a specialty certification in critical care, I didn’t start there.Learning how to be a confident and competent neuro nurse is tough.

I started out in neurocritical care back in 2012 incredibly intimidated and terrified.

Whenever neurosurgeons and neurologists would round on my patients, I was so nervous they would ask me a question that would reveal how little I actually did know about neuro microanatomy and embarrass me in front of everyone.Whenever neurosurgeons and neurologists would round on my patients, I was so nervous they would ask me a question that would reveal how little I actually did know about neuro microanatomy and embarrass me in front of everyone.

It was such a steep learning curve, but I made it through to the other side. Thanks to some amazing nurse educators sowing into my development, I was able to not only understand the why behind my actions but also learn how to become incredibly efficient at my time management and clear with my communication.It was such a steep learning curve, but I made it through to the other side.

While the NCLEX® and nursing school did a great job of introducing neuro concepts and theory, there is so much more to know to safely care for neuro patients. It also prepares you for “perfect world” nursing, not the real world nursing you’re going to work in.While the NCLEX® and nursing school did a great job of introducing neuro concepts and theory, there is so much more to know to safely care for neuro patients.

While many of us know how to keep patients safe, a lot of us don’t know the why behind our actions for some time into our job. We are so focused on getting things done, staying caught up, and keeping patients safe that we don’t have time to ask specifically how mannitol reduce cerebral edema, why patients with a temporal lobe stroke have a high risk for seizure activity, or why the neurosurgeon always asks what the sodium level was.While many of us know how to keep patients safe, a lot of us don’t know the why behind our actions for some time into our job.

Sure, we passed a test or maybe even worked in another nursing unit, but just because we get hired into neuro and sit through some classes or pass some mandatory education tests doesn’t mean we get it.

“I decided to take this Neuro Crash Course because I currently work on a neuro stepdown/telemetry unit, and would like to start working towards getting my stroke certification and my neuro certification. There was a lot of content that I didn’t know, and found the different video samples to be very handy in configuring the way I give handoff report. I am excited to see future courses come out to gain more knowledge in different subject areas.”“I decided to take this Neuro Crash Course because I currently work on a neuro stepdown/telemetry unit, and would like to start working towards getting my stroke certification and my neuro certification.
