The Neuroscience program at Sharp Grossmont Hospital offers the most advanced neurological and surgical treatments in the region. Our state-of-the-art neuroscience unit is dedicated to the care of patients with both common and rare neurological conditions. Neuroscience nurses receive a robust, neurology and neurosurgery-specific orientation including didactic, skill, preceptor, and simulation sessions. Initial orientation, combined with annual education, provides nurses with a strong neuroscience foundation, and enables them to provide top tier care for this specialty patient population. This broad neuroscience foundation of knowledge also supports neuroscience nurses to take the Certified Neuroscience Registered Nurse (CNRN) certification exam after 1 year of experience. Professional development and growth opportunities are strongly supported through the Magnet structure, research, conferences, lectures, webinars, certification, and education reimbursement.

We’re excited at the prospect of you joining our dynamic team of healthcare professionals. This team is inclusive of, but not limited to, nursing assistants, physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, imaging technicians, nurse practitioners, hospitalists, and several other integral roles. After joining our team, you along with many others will be intimately involved in the cutting-edge delivery of specialized neuroscience care at Sharp Grossmont.
