Neurology Nursing

People who suffer from brain and nervous system disorders are assisted by Neuroscience Nurse. Neurology nursing requires an understanding of normal nervous system anatomy and physiology, keen assessment and monitoring skills, vast knowledge about neurological disease and conditions, and on-going education related to recommended prevention methods and treatment options and has to manage conditions such as stroke, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and encephalitis, to name a few., administering medication, and consulting physicians on patient progress are some of their duties.

These nursing professionals should have even knowledge about the diagnostic tests as well. CT scans and MRI’s are some of such tests. Neurological nurses also should have the idea of understanding how to read and interpret these tests as well.
