The Neuroscience Unit is a 36-bed unit specializing in the complex

major service lines: General Neurology, Neurology Epilepsy,
Neurology Stroke and Neurosurgery. UCHealth is a Comprehensive

hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhages. All of our nurses are NIH
Certified to care for this specific patient population. Our
neurosurgical population consists of patients with a variety of
brain and spine tumors, aneurysms, DBS placement for Parkinson's
patients and a wide array of spinal surgeries. We are a Level 4
Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) accredited by the National
Association of Epilepsy Centers. Our patients are admitted to our
EMU to provide comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services to
patients with uncontrolled seizures. Our nurses receive special
training in order to safely care for the epileptic patients. As an
academic medical center, we embrace a multidisciplinary,
collaborative commitment to excellence in patient care and advanced
professional practice through:
--- Achievement of specialty certification: Certified Neuroscience
Registered Nurse (CNRN) and Stroke Certified Registered Nurse
(SCRN).
--- Our shared governance structure with unit-based committees
offers opportunities to share talents and professional growth.
--- Our UEXCEL program provides opportunities for clinical
advancement that permits registered nurse career progression, while
encouraging the nurse to remain in a clinical position delivering
direct patient care.
The typical nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:4 (days) and 1:5
(nights).
