Neuro Critical Care - new grad advice

I just started my nurse residency program (new grad RN) and I've been assigned to the neuro critical care unit, which is the step-down unit from neuro ICU.

Any advice for a new grad? Anything I should brush up on before going to the floor? I'm all ears :)

You could study the NIH stroke scale assessment... Or even get certified.

How much experience do you need to get certified?
