The Acute Stroke Unit and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit in UTSW's William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital (CUH) opened early this year to serve the growing need for advanced specialized care for progressive care neurological patients in both North Texas and our neighboring states. With a patient-centric design and its’ state-of-the-art facilities, the new Acute Stroke Unit and Epilepsy Monitoring Unit enhance this team’s ability to collaborate effectively and to deliver the best outcomes for neurological progressive care patients.

The Registered Nurse Progressive Care (RN) II is an experienced neurological nurse who provides excellent patent care in both of our neuro progressive care settings. There are unique opportunities to grow professionally – both as a learner and educator – that make these departments ideal for those seeking to elevate their nursing practice.
