Neuroscience Nursing Resources
Neuro 101 Toolkit
A quick reference checklist has been created for the new to neuroscience nurse and preceptor supporting those who are new to neuro. The intent is to support nurses who are unfamiliar with the care of the neuro patient or the environment of care (I.E. floating, travelers, new to neuro). Additional resources will be developed and rolled out as ready.
