  More Information:
  Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University Medical Center is the largest hospital in Missouri and is ranked as one of the nation's top hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Barnes-Jewish Hospital's staff is composed of full-time academic faculty and community physicians of Washington University School of Medicine, supported by a house staff of residents, interns, fellows and other medical professionals. Recognizing its excellence in nursing care, Barnes-Jewish Hospital was the first adult hospital in Missouri to be certified as a Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. The neurosurgical stepdown is a newly remodeled, 21-bed combined nursing unit (six fully monitored stepdown beds) that cares for routine surgical and stepdown patients. Neurosurgical patients include those with oncology and spine conditions, neurological abnormalities, mild neuro trauma and seizure disorders. Post-op surgical interventions include ventricular drain management, psycho-social services, crisis management, halo management and telemetry. Although acute and chronic pain management has always been a large part of patient care, nurses on this unit have recently begun to explore new pain management techniques for patients. Many resources are available to nurses on this unit, including a neuro nurse practitioner, a full-time lead charge nurse and nurse educator. Educational opportunities are highly encouraged and a few examples include a surgical services fellowship, stepdown classes and ACLS certification. Nurses receive additional education and training in stroke and epilepsy on this floor. Nurses serve a critical role in the multidisciplinary care of patients and round hourly with physicians. In a continued effort to provide excellence in patient care, this nursing staff is highly involved in its unit-based joint practice team.
