Other diagnoses may include medical overflow, patients receiving chemotherapy, and biotherapy. The preferred ratio of registered nurses to patients is 1:4-5. Required skills for the position include PIV starts, NG tube placement and management, and management of surgical drains and chest tubes. While comfort with port accessing is preferred, only experienced oncology RNs will be allowed to perform this task.

CNA staff are also trained in phlebotomy, performing 12-lead EKGs, and glucometry. There is a charge nurse present who usually has a patient assignment. The phlebotomy effort is combined between RNs and CNAs with the assistance of an IV team. An IV/VAT team is available, and respiratory therapy is accessible 24/7 but not dedicated to the unit. Hospitalist support is also available 24/7 but is not dedicated exclusively to the unit. In terms of telemetry monitoring, patients are remotely monitored if telemetry is ordered. The technology used includes electronic medical records, IV pumps, medication dispensing systems, and patient monitors. Unit-specific equipment includes bladder scanners and EKG machines. Floating is allowed within the region and the scope of practice. If a traveler is required to float mid-shift, they will be compensated for travel time between facilities. Schedulers will require travelers to work every other weekend and 75% of holidays. Requests for time off can be approved for up to six days, excluding holidays, with a requirement to add time to the end of the contract if the contracted hours are not met. Shift times vary within a schedule cycle of six weeks. The unit culture is professional and team-oriented.
