Welcome to Nursing Voices where not only can you speak your mind but also win Iphones from

Now that plug being said. There are a few things to remember in Neuro intensive care. 1. Glascow Coma Scale: Just because they know who they are, where they are and what day it is, does not mean they are oriented. Talk to them, you may find that neuro patients can talk a good game. 2. Glascow Coma Scale: Just because they don't open their eyes, doesn't mean they can't.
Buttttttttt.... the most important thing to remember in the Neuro Intensive Care is that you ARE allowed to take a piece of candy from the desk!
Welcome Erin and good luck.
