I'm a new grad and got hired on at St. Joe's (Dignity) in the Neuro ICU.. I'll get 12 weeks training, starting Monday.

The other day I passed NCLEX (yay!) and I will be starting in the Neuro ICU at my local hospital in a week and a half. What books would you all recommend for me for Neuro specific topics. Also, any tips starting in Neuro as a new grad? I'm not looking for all the posts that new grads shouldn't be in the Neuro ICU etc etc, that is counterproductive. Please & Thank You

"He must have heard someone say there was a code brown in his patient's room"

I'm currently getting my ADN & BSN (combo degree) and a BSN does not make you a better nurse. Anyone can write a paper, but not everyone can nurse & critically think (which the ADN is all about). The only good thing about the BSN is that employers might want to hire you over another new grad ADN (for magnetic status reasons) and that having your BSN allows you to go quickly into a masters program if you'd like after graduation.

"I hope she doesn't dislocate her hip running like that, she hasn't learned how to take care of those yet"

"This is the guy that says we need a new artist around here"

The one thing about this is she was in the breakroom reading a document. I gather that it is very important, but we all should take a little time out of our day to make others feel welcomed, even if its a few words.
