Neuro Nursing Cheat Sheets | Stroke, Seizures, Cranial Nerves, GCS, ICP | Neurological Study Guide | NCLEX Review Printable

Neuro doesn't have to be the scary unit. Compare every check to the last one, and know what to do when something changes.

This 26-page cheat sheet set covers neuro nursing in plain language, with tables, priority boxes and memory tricks on almost every page. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN, a nurse educator and former ADN and BSN nursing instructor. I've been helping nursing students pass their exams through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. This guide is a sibling of my Cardiac + EKG Cheat Sheets and uses the same layout.
