Bone Marrow Transplant

Our Bone Marrow Transplant unit is a 12-bed unit located on the 5th floor of the new patient bed tower. This unit provides total comprehensive care to patients before, during, and after allogeneic transplants from peripheral blood, bone marrow, or umbilical cord blood from related and unrelated donors. We are the only cellular therapy and comprehensive stem cell transplant program in Oklahoma.

We are also the only facility that offers CAR‑T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapy.

Less Than (1) year of RN experience is preferred for this position.

Hemoc

The Hematology Oncology unit is a 24-bed unit that includes 6 stepdown beds, located on the 5th floor of the new patient bed tower. We see a wide variety of blood cancers from Acute Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma. The length of stay for these patients is much longer than other in-patient units. This allows us the opportunity to get to know our patients and their family.

We treat a wide range of ages from late adolescent to late adults. OU is the only National Cancer Institute (NCI) - Designated Cancer Center in the state of Oklahoma.

Surgical Oncology

OU Health's Surgical Oncology unit has recently expanded to 36 beds, and 9 step-down beds, in our new state‑of‑the‑art adult patient tower!

The average stay for patients ranges from 48‑72 hours to one week.

RNs on this unit have large support from both Care Team Associates and Health Unit Coordinators.

An OU Health Registered Nurse (RN) I works under general supervision, providing the highest quality of care to patients in a hospital setting with health problems ranging from simple to complex.
