Nurse Tech 5N Adult Oncology
About The Unit
5 North is a 30-bed Medical Oncology unit located within Butterworth Hospital. This unit specializes in the care of those with oncology diagnoses and a surgical population of obstetrics and gynecology along with gastrointestinal. Longer stays for patients on this unit are common, giving the team at 5 North the chance to build relationships with the patient and their family. Although this is a specialized unit, there is still much to learn due to the variety in patient conditions in addition to their cancer and the general medical/surgical population we also care for. Teamwork is an important value on this unit and welcomes new staff or guest staff warmly to ensure they have a great experience on the unit. We welcome new graduate and experienced RNs on 5North, and we are looking for employees who are passionate about this population and excited to grow their skills and gain experience over a long period of time.
