PATIENT CARE TECH
Receive an additional 17% weekday night and 26% weekend nights shift differentialSign-on Bonus availableNeuroscience ICU serves any critically ill patient with primarily neurological involvement.
This includes traumatic brain injury, stroke, post neurosurgical care, and any other neurological complication that requires critical care.
In addition to our population we see overflow from both the trauma surgical ICU and the medical ICU as well.
This is a fast-paced unit that cares for a very complex and high acuity population.
Staff working in this unit will need to be team oriented, organized, and willing to work with a challenging but rewarding patient population.
We believe that interdisciplinary teamwork is the best model to provide the highest quality care to our patients and their families, and as such, teamwork is one of our fundamental values in the Neuroscience ICU.
