ForwardNeuroscience Course Day 1 - November 12, 2024
The growth of the neuroscience service line has led to higher acuity neuro patients and advanced neurosurgical interventions/procedures. Staff do not have strong neuroscience knowledge and lack confidence to care for this patient population.
New neuro procedures and surgeries are being performed and the volume of this patient population is increasing. Staff need the appropriate education and training to safely and effectively care for this patient population. Providers and staff have requested education for the nursing staff to increase the comfort level when caring for these patients.
