new grad in neuro-telemetry intermediate CCU

1. Hi all,
   Im a nursing student interviewing for a job on a neuro-telemetry "intermediate CCU."
   
   I have no idea what I want to do when i graduate - and told the nurse recruiter that i found neuro and telemetry interesting so she set me up with this interview.
   
   Any advice? or experiences on this type of floor you can elighten me with? Is this a feesible place for GN's to start? How critical are these patients?
   
   thanks!!

   Are you talking about a EPI unit? The patients are monitored (ekg and eeg and cameras) when there is seizure activity you basically record the events?Is that what you are calling a neurotelemetry unit?????
