Oh, I am so sad to read this. Esme was an amazingly kind person with a huge heart. I learned so much from her over the years and admired her more than I can say. My deepest condolences to her family.

Very serious. I assume you called neurosurgery quickly? Any updates now?

I'm so very, very sorry ((hugs))

wrong thread, sorry

Yeah. All of this and so much more.

This post makes me very sad. Imagine if that were my mother being treated like that? It definitely needs to be brought to your instructor's attention, and she can pass the information along to the appropriate person.

Hello, Can you elaborate on which angle you're coming from? Do you want to know the nurses' role and best practices, or the nuc med tech's? Or something else?

No way. I would have chosen OT or even ST. The redeeming part of my job is the relationships I have with my patients and their parents. I could have had a personal connection with my patients as therapist. This job has damaged my body and my mental /emotional health. The hours, and devastation to my mind and body, have not been healthy for my family life. I realize that the mental and emotional devastation have been due to the specialty and location I ended up in. This is the first time I've complained publicly about my job and career choice. Now I'm being so honest. I feel guilty for writing this.

Our neurosurgeons remove them.

Most likely, but it still depends a bit on the specific situation. Can you give more details?

That's typical; most nursing interviews are more about your personality and whether you would be a good fit on the unit. Let us know if you get the job!

Neurology means studying the brain and nervous system. This can include many things: brain tumors, demyelinating processes, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases of the brain and spinal cord, seizure disorders, TBI, and a host of other things. Neuroscience is focused more on how the brain and its functions control the body. It can involve mapping to locate the speech, memory, and motor centers, scans of the structure of the brain, etc. Neuropsychology also falls into the Neuroscience category. Neuroscience is the umbrella under which epileptology stands.

You're welcome. Did you have your interview yet?

Is it adult or peds? I recommend researching the different dx and types of neurosurgeries applicable to your patient population. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses
