Unit Summary:
This unit is a 21-bed unit that provides leading- edge, collaborative, and comprehensive care for both pediatric and adult patients with a variety of blood and bone marrow disorders. As a part of the VCU Massey Cancer Center, the largest adult and pediatric stem cell and bone marrow transplant provider in all of Virginia, we offer the latest FDA- approved CAR-T immunotherapies, clinical trials testing new and promising forms of cellular immunotherapies, as well as all forms of stem cell and bone marrow transplantation. We provide both outpatient and inpatient services in the same facility, and provide a suite of support services that range from helping minimize symptoms and side effects to coping with the cognitive, emotional, and psychological effects of cancer.
A typical shift for our nurse includes a team of mixed registered nurses, clinical coordinators, and Patient Care Techs (PCTs) caring for adult patients. We are dedicated to providing a fulfilling and high energy work environment. Our nurses and PCTs have a unique perspective on compassion and a strong belief in the enormous potential of cancer survivorship. Treatment for the CIT population on the inpatient unit includes chemotherapy and biotherapy administration, blood product transfusions, infusion of cellular therapy, symptom management, reviewing laboratory findings, and central line management including specialized intravenous infusions and clinical trials. As a CIT RN you are also collaborating with the team to assess and address goals of patient care, while educating patients on disease and treatment options.
Through respectful, attentive and compassionate care, our multidisciplinary care team builds healing relationships with our patients that focus on recovery and survivorship. We work closely with a large team of supportive care specialists to address the psychological and social impacts of cancer for our patients.
