Hi Everyone!
I am an LPN, I graduated nursing school last June. I finally got a full-time nursing job over a year later...
Anyway..
I am working at a neurologist doctors office who specializes in epilepsy, seizures, etc. I was wondering if anyone could give me some information regarding these areas. Anything at all would be wonderful however, I am really looking for some assessment information. I will be going in with the patient before the doctor and I will need to get information. What should I ask? (One of the problems is that they fill out this sheet that already asks "review of systems" questions so anything I ask will seem redundant) But I would appreciate any information, "pearls of wisdom" you have to offer.
Thank you so much!
Brittany!
