About The Position

Our team cares for patients with a wide range of neuro-related diagnoses, including those recovering from anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), lumbar laminectomies, strokes, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.

This 30-bed unit ensures each patient receives attentive and individualized care. A dedicated charge nurse also supports each shift to oversee patient care and assist the team as needed. We are looking for nurses with medical-surgical or neuro experience, but we also welcome new graduates eager to learn and grow in a supportive environment. Our goal is to provide exceptional care to patients while fostering a learning environment that helps our staff develop their skills in neuroscience nursing.
