This Creative Arts presentation uses storytelling and light humor to explore the unforgettable 'first time' moments that shape neuroscience nurses: first procedures, first crises, first losses, and first big wins. Through shared narratives, it highlights how teamwork, mentorship, and peer support transform uncertainty into confidence and resilience. Attendees will reconnect with the meaning and purpose of neuro nursing and reflect on the communities that help them grow, cope, and stay in the profession.
