Abdominal Transplant Opportunities

Our Surgical Inpatient units are fast paced units that include high acuity patients. Are you looking to increase your knowledge base? Our Surgical Inpatient leadership team fosters an environment that supports learning, mentoring, and building each team member.

Patient Population: Liver, kidney, pancreas, auto islet cell, and uterus transplant patients, living liver and kidney donors, hepatology patients, hepatobiliary surgery patients, transplant preparation and more! Literature supports long term graft survival when care is provided by specially trained transplant RNs, so we see returning transplant patients who require admission regardless of diagnosis which allows us to build long-lasting relationships with this special population and their loved ones.

Patient Ratios: 1:4 on days, 1:5 on nights, 1:3 for certain step-down patients around the clock

Number of Beds: 33

Unit selling points: The program has performed over 8,000 transplants since its start in 1984 and is one of the oldest in the country. We were the first to successfully perform uterus transplant in the U.S. and performed over 450 organ transplants in 2021! We utilize a flexible self-scheduling process to support life-work balance with no set weekend rotation and staff scheduling committee for autonomy and collaboration. We also support team members in swapping shifts with each other if things come up last minute. We offer career growth opportunities within transplant starting with transplant specific certification (CCTN). We are proud of our team environment where learning opportunities are present daily and questions are encouraged even from our provider partners. We have a charge RN every shift who has decreased acuity or zero patient assignment and the same amount of patient care technician support 24 hours a day. Our team is proud of our top box staff satisfaction scores for several years in a row on our annual People Survey. This is a testament to our strong culture of teamwork and family!
