HMTW Principles of Advanced Neuroscience Nursing Day 1 (Stroke) April 5, 2024
Newly hired staff require intense education about the specialty patient population they are caring for (neurological, neurosurgical, and stroke patients). The hospital is steadily growing by increasing beds as well as providers, which requires nurses to provide more specialized care to higher acuity patients. By providing an in-depth neuro-specific course, nurses will be equipped with the knowledge to better care for these complex patients.
