Cash for Neurosurgery OR Nurses!

Greetings to all you Neurosurgery nurses out there!

We're back. As you can see, our blog site is still under construction. We'll be writing much more about Neuro OR nursing, so stay tuned!

What's the latest? Well, we're expanding our commitment to excellence. Are you ready to add your talent to our Barnes-Jewish Hospital team?

It may interest you to know that Barnes-Jewish Hospital (BJH) is one of the first hospitals to offer the most advanced intraoperative MRI. In fact, only three other hospitals in the world -- yes, I said in the WORLD -- have similar technology that enables neurosurgeons to obtain vital brain images while surgery is in progress.

We're looking for several neurosurgical nurses to work in the intraoperative MRI. This is such an exciting opportunity! We have brand new OR suites -- state of the art facilities with the very latest in technology.

Most importantly, we're making quite an positive impact on excellent patient care. Here's what some professionals think:

"The introduction of the intraoperative MRI at Barnes-Jewish Hospital is an opportunity to work on the most sophisticated, totally integrated image guidance system in health care. If you enjoy technology and the challenge of complicated procedures, this is an unparalleled nursing position. I believe strongly in collaboration between nursing and surgical practice, and it is particularly critical in this environment."

Here's a word from someone who knows:

"Being an OR nurse at Barnes-Jewish Hospital is phenomenal. We assist with intracranial vascular procedures, bypass surgeries, deep-brain stimulation and epilepsy and spine surgeries on a daily basis. We work with an elite group of physicians who provide guidance and education, and who count on us as much as we support them. The technology used in our surgeries is truly the most advanced, allowing me the opportunity to learn video integration and surgical navigation.

If you're looking for an exciting nursing career within a wonderful team environment, Barnes-Jewish is the place for you. The work is professionally energizing while the atmosphere is flexible and supportive, helping me to maintain balance with the rest of my life."
