RN Supervisor - 9B Neuro Intermediate

9B Neuro Intermediate is a 19-bed unit, with 12 intermediate beds and 7 telemetry/acute beds. This unit serves a diverse patient population with complex neurological needs that includes increased neurological assessment standards, frequent monitoring, nursing interventions, complex care coordination, and rehabilitation needs by physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Typical patient population cared for comprise of post-surgical care for craniotomies, deep brain stimulator placement, embolization, twist drill procedure, seizures, SAH with surgical interventions and lumbar drains. Due to the high acuity of patient care, the nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:3 for intermediate level and 1:4, 5 ratios for acute level. 

This is the only hospital in this area that performs craniotomies. 9B works with brain surgeons regularly as this is a major specialty on this unit. If you are a nurse looking for a career in ICU, this is a great starting point to build your experience to grow into an intensive care unit!
