Thank you. I’m binge watching all your videos. I’m going to do a travel assignment in NEURO ICU in Columbus and I’m from medical ICU so your helping me so much.
Kati Kleber absolutely! almost at my year and your vids really helped me look like a stud (although a cautious, non-know-it-all one) during my preceptorship. Neuro for the win: )
Update 5 years later! I just accepted a job with one of the worlds largest Neuroendovascular medical device companies. I'm reviewing and revisiting neuro vids and wanted to give my appreciation. Your content absolutely helped make this accomplishment possible and for that I am so incredibly grateful.
I loved this video. I'm new to neuro from CV step-down and I feel like I don't know anything, this makes me feel better. This is the real real that nurses need. Thanks.
Wow this was amazing, thank you so much for making this video, I really appreciate it. You're incredibly intelligent and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I did start a podcast! 40 episodes with much better sound quality are at FreshRN.com/podcast! And just got some better equipment so my newer videos will be a lot better. I plan on rerecording some of these older ones.
This was so useful! The beer recs and the nursing info helps. As a nurse manager, What qualities and skills do you look for with new nurses in the neuro ICU? Do you have any stories of good or really bad candidates? I'm starting my externship there next month. Thanks!
Great question! So I actually sat on the peer interview committee and wasn't actually a manager. But I do have some stories... once, had a candidate continually bring up examples of when other people messed up to make herself look better. Another came after a clinical and looked like she couldn't care less. Another one provided really short answers that didn't provide any details/depth. GREAT candidates are authentic, typically a little nervous but I'm cool with that because they care, ask good questions, and provide honest - not cliche- answers! All the best to you!!!!
Thanks so much for the video!! I work in a very large, very busy level one trauma center ER, and I am a newer nurse. We get all kinds of patients, but I feel like I have neuro patients a lot. Unfortunately Neuro seems to be my biggest weakness. The assessment tips you shared were super helpful though! I'm hoping they well help me to better assess, and take care of those types of patients!
late 40's nursing student, was in neuro for clinical today. This is perfect, real and juicy good and will save me in the future. I am having blessed wine Does that count?
I'm sorry, I know this is 10 months late. New grads in neuro ICU is challenging, but doable. You really have to be on your game, looking up stuff at home, and taking extra time to learn stuff... because when you're at work worrying about learning how to do the task kind of things like starting IVs, using pumps, etc. it's hard to comprehend complex neuro anatomy. So you must be all in when you're there and looking at stuff at home.
Your neuro clinical expertise is money!! New 2020 nurse grad here love your videos, thank you!

starting Neuro ICU as a new grad, so much to learn of course, but wanted to say I appreciate all of your videos tremendously!
Wonderful! I'm so glad they help!

I transitioned from MSICU to Neuro ICU and the learning experience has been amazing so far, intimidating but good. This video was helpful

You’re amazing! This video is very informative and is a great reference for me as a PACU nurse dealing with the post op neuro patient.
What great tips "Do your first assessment with the last (previous) nurse"
Thanks Beth!

Hi! Is there a way you could improve the volume or make a podcast. Love the subject material!

Do you think a new grad can handle neuro ICU? I have an interview in a few days. Its my absolute dream job but it does seem intimidating!
