Member Recommended Reading for Neurosurgical/Neurological Nursing

by gwenith

I have taken the inspiration for this from the Neonatal ICU forum. I thought that we might like to exchange booklists and recommended articles.

Please add to this thread - this is about sharing information on what we have found helpful to learn and understand this fascinating discipline.

My stand-by Neuro books are:-

The Clinical Practice of Neurological and Neurosurgical Nursing
Hickey J.

Neurology and Neurosurgery Illustrated
Lindsay K. Bone I and Callander R. (Churchhill Livingstone)

I always enjoyed Reading

Jamieson's First Notebook of Head Injuries
Jamieson K

If you can get your hands on this one it is a hoot!! The author sprinkled the text with funny little limericks as memonics - one of the better books now sadly out of print but one of those where much of the information is timeless.

Hickey was going to be my choice so I guess we can give it a second vote!

May I suggest Adams and Victor's Principles of Neurology? Excellent neuroanatomy and physiology on the first part.

Hi! I'll be interviewing for a new grad training program in a neurosurgery department very soon. I'd welcome any feedback regarding how you got into the field, what you like most about it, what you like least, what advice you would give a new grad, what situations do you usually encounter, would this be a good place to start a career, etc.

Thank you in advance for your replies!
