RESUMO
Nurses new to the neuroscience specialty often have fears regarding their expertise in this field. This article describes a staff development model successfully implemented in a 560-bed tertiary care center. The historical evolution of the model is discussed and components of the model in relation to professional development are presented. Future plans for development, evaluation and integration of the model into a clinical ladder program are also discussed.

Consistent and conscientious nursing care and assessments are known to have significant impact on the morbidity and mortality associated with increased intracranial pressure. These authors reviewed 100 charts to assess the documentation of nursing care for patients with actual or potential increased intracranial pressure. When their audit revealed fragmented and inconsistent documentation, they published and inserviced general guidelines (a standard care plan) utilizing nursing diagnoses. The audit criteria and subsequent standard care plan are provided in this article. Questions which were raised during the endeavor are presented as suggested areas for future nursing research.
