Experienced Neuro ICU nurses...Please tell me about the Neuro ICU!!!

I know there are many different opinions on new grads in an ICU setting. I tend to think that nurses are better off with a year or two in a med-surg area before heading to ICU. A lot of people will argue that, but again, that is just my opinion. When you work ICU you are able to develop a routine, develop time management skills, learn the flow of nursing, learn medications and develop skills you will need in ICU. Having said that, if you are dead set against med-surg nursing then don't do it...your decision.

Maybe you should ask yourself what you think about neuro. Neuro is highly specialized...is this something you are interested in? You will not see cardiac cases, pulmonary..etc...it is geared strictly towards neuroscience. If you love neuro then go for it, if you don't really know yet then maybe work some place with a broader experience. Just something to think about.
