Nurses who work on the stroke unit

[jead1]

Is stroke nursing considered critical care? I am considering my options for summer jobs and I think I want to work on the stroke unit. However, I don't want to work critical care. When I say critical care, I mean atmospheres/pressure like the ICU, CCU, ER, etc. I just don't think I'd be good at it. It takes someone who is a quick thinker and as a student who's just now "getting her feet wet" I haven't really mastered the skill of knowing what to do immediately.

Go to med/surg if you want to learn more about acute care and more skills and then transfer to rehab when you get more experiences in med/surg
