Registered Nurse - Women's Care

Registered Nurse – Women's Care

Tucson Medical Center (TMC) is Tucson’s only non‑profit community owned hospital. Employees choose to work at TMC because of our integrity, community, dedication and compassion which we show through the exceptional care we provide to our patients and our community. Our passion for caring for the Tucson community has expanded over the last years to include community partnerships, new medical specialties and medical clinics.

The Women’s Care Unit is a 20‑bed unit that provides gynecologic, antepartum and medical‑surgical overflow for adolescent, adult and geriatric women. The all‑private‑room unit cares for post‑surgical patients following vaginal and abdominal hysterectomy, bladder repairs, laparoscopic procedures, plastics, mastectomies/breast reconstruction and women with medical‑surgical complications. The unit also specializes in high‑risk antepartum care, with patients sometimes staying weeks or months until delivery.

The all‑female staff provides compassionate care to patients who have experienced fetal loss or who are placing a baby for adoption. With a small, tenured staff, this unit has a cohesive physician‑nurse partnership that delivers safe, exceptional care.
