The practice of neuroscience nursing, like other healthcare professions, is rapidly changing. While these changes may present opportunities, many nurses are concerned that these measures may reduce patient access to the high quality neuroscience nursing care they deserve. At the same time, the science and technology of neuroscience nursing is burgeoning. Great strides are being made in expanding the evidence base in neuroscience.
