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

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
