Our recruiters collectively boast over 30 years of experience in the industry, striving to provide competitive pay, flexible scheduling, and positive experiences for our agency nurses.
Why neuro ICU nurses?
Neuro ICU agency nurses are especially in demand because neurological conditions can be complex and require close monitoring and intervention. They possess specialised training and certification and support they provide to neurosurgeons and neurologists. Advancements in healthcare technology allow for more complex treatments for specialised conditions, necessitating nurses to pursue additional education. Plus, as our population ages, older adults increasingly develop neurological problems like stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia, demanding care only neuro ICU nurses can provide.
These nurses need a strong foundation in critical thinking, including skills in hemodynamic monitoring, mechanical ventilation, and administering critical medications. They should also understand the normal functioning of the nervous system to recognise and respond to emergencies. Neuro ICU nurses need to be able to assess patients for subtle changes in neurological function, plus be comfortable using monitors and other specialised equipment. Lastly, they should be skilled in communication and collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
Neuro ICU nurses describe working on the ward as a fascinating experience in a teamwork-filled environment. You truly hone your assessment and medication administering skills. You’ll get to participate in various procedures while witnessing the evolution of your patients over time.
