OK, What do you like about neuro ICU, and what do you dislike about it?

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.
