Overview

The Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes‑Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine is an international leader in cancer treatment, research, prevention, education and community outreach. It is the only cancer center in Missouri and within a 240‑mile radius of St. Louis to hold the prestigious Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute and membership in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.

Parent institutions Barnes‑Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine are also nationally recognized, with U.S. News & World Report consistently ranking the hospital and medical school among the nation’s elite.

Division 7800 ICU is an oncology‑designated 25‑bed intensive care unit. Ten beds are designated for oncology and bone marrow transplant patients. The unit cares for critically ill patients with oncology, bone marrow transplant diagnoses or those who have had surgical interventions requiring ICU care. Care of high‑acuity critically ill patients includes high‑complexity interventions for the BMT, oncology and surgical services. A multidisciplinary team—oncology nurses, attending physicians, fellows, advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, case managers, social workers, spiritual care, pharmacy and psychosocial support—coordinates care.

Professional nursing growth and development are expected, encouraged and supported by the Nursing Resident Program (NRP), the Career Ladder Program, mock CODEs, and educational opportunities such as the Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) certification, Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN) program and Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse Certification (BMTNC).
