Fostering a dynamic team environment and collaborating to address complex patient needs from our unit-based educators, clinical nurse specialists, rehabilitative support staff, and physician providers are the key to our success. Our team takes great pride in providing kind and compassionate care not only to our patients but in caring for one another. We seek candidates interested in advancing their Neuroscience nursing practice and learning alongside outstanding clinical mentors but also wanting to be part of a team.
