Job Description:
Department/Unit: Neurosciences & Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU)
- D5N Work Shift: Day (United States of America) Salary Range:
$83,200.00 - $93,184.00 The clinical Nurse contributes to the
creation of a compassionate and caring environment for patients,
families and colleagues through displays of kindness and active
listening. Recognizes and appreciates that each employee’s work is
valuable and contributes to the success of the Mission. D5N is a 21
bed neurosciences unit with one level of care. We take patients
with ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, brain tumors, aneurysms,
seizures, traumatic brain injuries, neuromuscular diseases and
other diagnoses involving the neurologic system. The floor beds
consist of patients requiring every 4-hour monitoring.
Additionally, there are 7 Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) beds
embedded in the 21 neuro floor beds. These patients are seizure
disorder patients admitted electively with their anti-convulsant
medications on hold and hard wired to continuous EEG. This allows
the physicians to identify the area of the brain where the seizures
are occurring. Many of these patients become candidates for brain
mapping with surgically placed grids to further pinpoint the area
causing the seizures. This mapping allows the surgeon to determine
if the patient would be a candidate for surgical removal of parts
of the brain to stop seizure activity and still allow the patient
to have functionality. The nurse-to-patient ratio for floor
patients is typically 1:5. NEW GRADS WELCOME TO APPLY Job
