To achieve excellence in nursing care, TriHealth encourages: pursuit of improved knowledge through continuing education classes, formal education leading to advancement of degrees, and the attainment of specialty certification; nurse membership in local, regional, and national nursing organizations related to the appropriate nurse specialty; involvement in activities that better the health of our community; nursing research activities and use of evidence-based practice, and all nurses to foster, support and personally model collaborative relationships amongst nurses, physicians, and other caregivers for the betterment of patient care. Patients also come to the unit with complex medical conditions such as small bowel obstructions (SBO), gynecological oncology issues, and those requiring advanced therapies like NG tubes, TPN, and electrolyte replacement.
