RN Limited Assignment Acute Neurology Stroke NT
About The Position
Your job is more than a job. Truth. Neuroscience nurses are a rare breed. You’re not afraid to take the lead and be the key stakeholder in your patient’s journey because with issues like brain injuries and strokes, the road to recovery is paved with challenges and small, incremental milestones. Without hesitation, you champion and appreciate every single one, taking pride in your patient’s progress and your team’s hard work. In the end, it’s so worth it. Your bond with your patients and their family is stronger and your calling as a nurse deeper. In your mind, you wouldn’t trade that feeling for the world. It’s why you love nursing. And it’s what we love about you. Your experiences, knowledge, skills, empathy, compassion, and your “little something extra” all add up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you’ll bring to this critical nursing role.
