Likes and dislikes...

I get around the glare from the relatives by telling them that they need time for themselves too. Neuro recovery is often a "long haul" and they will need to look after themselves to be able to give the best to their loved ones. It empowers them to leave and it makes it less about you and the patient and more about them and the patient.

I have just qualified with a BSc in Pre-Registration Nursing. I have recently been offered a post in Neuro Critical Care, pending references and checks. I quickly found after being oriented into the muted, quiet environment that it was where I wanted to be. I'm grateful I've been given the opportunity to develop my professional practice in this area.
Happy New Year everyone!

I work in a general ICU (not neuro specific) but get plenty of heads and do enjoy taking care of them. I think the inconsistency in neuro patients is stimulating. Just when you think you know what they are doing...you do another exam and things have changed...that keeps you busy. It is a real challenge to maintain ICP's in tight parameters with so many interplaying factors. I like being involved in the organ donations process and all that goes with that. It is very traumatic and sad at times but the good outcomes help me to accept the bad.
