If you would like to metamorphosize into a neuroscience nurse, consider our Medical Neurology and Neurological Surgery Nurse Fellowship Program to help you obtain the specialized training you will need. Neuroscience nurses pride themselves on compassionate and patient focused care. Nurses practice with autonomy and are responsible for the care of patients with such diagnoses as brain tumors, aneurysms, degenerative spine disease, epilepsy, and cerebrovascular disease. The Neuroscience Nursing Department at Johns Hopkins is comprised of Neurosurgery and Neurology in six practice environments: a four bed Brain Rescue Unit (BRU) and a 26 bed inpatient unit (Meyer 9), a six bed Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and a 22 bed inpatient unit (Meyer 8), a twenty-two bed critical care unit (NCCU). Diverse clinical and practice opportunities abound in this dynamic, progressive, specialty department.
