UPMC Shadyside is currently hiring a Full-Time Experienced Registered Nurseto support one of the units within Shadyside's Oncology Service Line: 2 Pav/South, 4 Main, 5 Main, 6 Main, or 6 West. (unit descriptions below).
Shadyside's Oncology Service Line:
4 Main: Surgical Oncology - Surgical oncology nursing encompasses patients who are recovering from post-surgical procedures for the treatment of life-altering cancers. These surgical procedures include cytoreductive (debulking) surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment, Whipple procedures, colon resections, liver resections, and other abdominal/rectal procedures. Nurses on 4 Main are exposed to many different types of tubes and drains that our patients experience in their post-surgical phase. These drains include (but are not limited to) wound vacs, ileostomies, colostomies, feeding tubes, Jackson Pratt (JP) drains, pigtail catheters, and chest tubes. Patients on 4 Main require staff members that are highly motivated, encouraging, and driven to provide patients with the best possible experiences and outcomes.
5 Main: Medical Oncology - 5 Main is a 29-bed unit that specializes in caring for oncology patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, and hematologic disorders. The unit sees a broad spectrum of patients, from new diagnoses to patients transitioning into hospice and end-of-life care. RNs on this unit take an active role in providing education, care, and support for the patients and families who are confronting these new challenges. RNs work directly with the interdisciplinary team to ensure a smooth treatment course and discharge, as well as, transitions to home and hospice care. RNs will also be responsible for administering chemotherapy. This is a fast-paced unit with patients having an average length of stay of 4-5 days.
6 Main: Medical Telemetry/Oncology - 6 Main is a 32-bed medical oncology telemetry unit that cares for a wide range of patients with different oncological diagnoses, and other primary medical conditions that often focus on the cardiac, renal, and respiratory systems among others. UPMC Shadyside Hospital is connected physically to Hillman Cancer Center which is the main center of all cancer care within the UPMC system. The 6 Main Unit is UPMC Shadyside Hospital’s Dedicated Education unit where clinical staff nurses serve as instructors for the University of Pittsburgh nursing students. These clinical staff nurses receive special training and opportunities to pursue further education at the university.
6 West: Stem Cell Transplant - 6 West is one of UPMC Shadyside's oncology units that specializes in stem cell transplants. Stem cell administration and bone marrow biopsies are performed at the bedside; patients also often receive chemotherapy, electrolyte infusions, and blood products. While transplant patients make up the majority of our patient population, we also care for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and occasionally solid tumors. In this unit, you will work with medical devices such as trach tubes, chest tubes, and feeding tubes, and observe strict infection control precautions for immunocompromised patients. This is an ideal unit for nurses seeking to gain specialized oncology experience and who prefer to care for long-stay patients; patients on 6 West are high acuity and typically stay on the unit for 4-6 weeks.
Unit placement will be determined by candidate preference and current hospital needs. Please specify which unit is your preference in the questionnaire when applying to the position.
