    Is Brain Drainer an offensive term?

    Quick question for all of you neuro nurses out there. Do you consider it offensive to be caller a brain drainer? I am marketing a new Neuro ICU opportunity and the job description is titled "Brain Drainers Needed." Some of the guys at the office think it may be considered offensive and too edgy.

    Just wanted a nurses opinion. If it is considered offensive, can you please weigh in with an alternative?

    Thank you,
    Connor

    I am not a neuro ICU nurse but I think a better generic descriptive title might look more professional for a job listing. Something along the lines of "Neuro ICU RN", simple and not likely to offend anyone.
