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 Neurocritical Care Unit (NNICU) at
Barnes Jewish Hospital is a 20-bed level 1 center caring for
complex neurological and neurosurgical emergencies requiring
advanced interventions and comprehensive neurocritical care. The
Joint Commission-certified comprehensive stroke center NNICU
provides a full complement of advanced neuro-monitoring, medical
therapies and neurosurgical interventions. In August 2019, Barnes
Jewish Hospital will expand its neurocritical care unit by adding
24 beds. This unit will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment
and technology, including both a stationary and mobile CT scanners
capable of performing advanced neurovascular imaging. Our NNICU
teams consist of neuro-intensivists, fellows, residents, acute care
nurse practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, patient care
technicians, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, case
managers, and social workers. Working with the medical team, our
NPs are engaged in patient rounds, case reviews, morbidity and
mortality/performance improvement reviews as well as focused
professional practice in neurocritical care. Due to the acuity of
patients receiving care in our Level I NCCU, a neurointensivist or
an NNICU fellow provides on-site care 24/7. Neurocritical care
nursing is a specialty within critical care and requires an
educational curriculum and competency assessment beyond general
critical care concepts. Our nurses receive focused education and
competency assessment for common neurocritical care concepts,
monitoring, procedures and devices. This includes ENLS (Emergency
Neurological Life Support), a program that outlines the key care
priorities of 14 neurocritical care diagnoses in the first few
hours of management. Nurse to patient ratios are typically 1:2 or
1:1, depending on acuity. Our nurses are fully engaged and an
integral part of patient rounds. Overview Role Purpose Provides
