Job Description:
Neuro Telemetry RN
Overview
As our Neurology Nurse at St. Joseph Health, now part of
CommonSpirit Health formed between Catholic Health Initiatives
(CHI) and Dignity Health, you'll see patients with significant
neurological conditions such as hemorrhages, aneurysms, strokes,
brain and spinal tumors, seizure disorders, and spinal disorders.
You will provide the best care possible while helping them and
their families make the best decisions for their care.
Considering the level of care our neurology patients require, we
maintain low nurse to patient ratios on this unit. You'll perform
neurological exams, head to toe exams, administer medications,
monitor intake and output, and keep a very close eye on our
patients' blood pressure. You'll monitor any external ventricular
drains, intracranial bolts or lumbar drains. You'll work closely
with other nurses, physicians, case managers and a team of
dedicated allied health professionals to monitor these patients and
offer them the best possible outcome.
Although each shift contains the same fundamental duties, no two
days are the same. We take the toughest cases and you may see
patients with new neurological diseases never before documented or
brain operations in portions of the brain most physicians won't
touch. Because we take the tough cases, not every outcome will be
ideal. That's why you must have a strong passion for neurology and
advancing science. It can be draining, but also incredibly
rewarding when patients and their families celebrate victories.
