Chandler's healthcare sector is growing, with steady demand for neurosurgery nurses due to expansions like the Chandler Regional Medical Center's new tower. This creates opportunities, but also moderate competition as local facilities seek skilled neuro registered nurses specialized in acute neurological care.
Beyond the required AZ RN license and ACLS, certifications like Neurocritical Care Nursing (CCRN-Neuro) and Stroke Certified Registered Nurse (SCRN) are valued in Arizona. These credentials demonstrate advanced expertise, boosting prospects in neurosurgery and neurology nursing roles within Chandler's hospitals.
A Neurosurgery Nurse must excel in neurological assessments, manage complex neurocritical patients, and collaborate closely with neurosurgeons. Proficiency in monitoring intracranial pressure and handling CVA or TIA cases sets them apart from general surgical nurses who focus on broader surgical care.

Daily duties include assessing neurological patient status, coordinating care plans with neurosurgeons, monitoring for CVA or syncope events, and leading family education. The role demands autonomous decision-making and adherence to nurse practice standards in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary setting.
