Overview
The Clinical Nurse is an engaged and credentialed member of the Professional Nursing Organization and is responsible for autonomous practice directed by the professional tenets of practitioner, leader/decision maker, scientist, and transferor. The Clinical Nurse is responsible for utilizing the nursing process to provide evidence-based care and to continuously monitor and evaluate practice to ensure safe passage of patients that is in the best interest of populations served.
Neuroscience: EMU/ENT/Stroke is a 31-bed Medical-Surgical level and epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU). The primary patient population includes neurology, neurosurgery, and ear, nose and throat (ENT) patients. Neuroscience/ENT provides specialized nursing care for patients with strokes, epilepsy, brain and/or spinal cord tumors/injuries, movement disorders, laryngectomies, and tracheotomies.
Our unit has a diverse patient population which provides an excellent learning environment to build a foundation for professional growth. We have a team approach and have a very active shared governance and practice area council. With the support of our clinical nurse supervisors and nurse educator, we provide a Neuro-specific learning environment for initial and continuous professional development with opportunities to cross-train amongst the neuro units.
The unit trains our nurses to provide specialty care allowing them to grow as nurses and advance their clinical skills. Dartmouth Health neuro nurses work across the continuum collaboratively with our Stroke Program to maintain our status as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, receiving annual education and training to care for the sickest stroke patients. Our Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) provides the highest level of monitoring for patients with seizures and epilepsy, including scalp and intracranial electrodes, and post-op care following epilepsy surgery.
EMU nurses gain additional subspecialty education, and those with a deeper interest can participate in the AANN Certificate Program for the Seizure and Epilepsy Professional. We encourage our nurses to become ABNN certified as CNRN or SCRN and obtain Emergency Neurological Life Support (ENLS).
