This is a Transplant Coordinator / Oncology RN role within a Peripheral Blood Transplant Cellular Therapy program. Transplant Coordinators have patient cases that they follow from candidate identification through the workup/evaluation, cell harvest, and cellular therapy infusion or cell transplant. The patients are in different phases of this process, and a coordinator could have an assignment of 8 patients at one time.

Coordinators meet with patients several times and schedule all their appointments according to a required timeline, but there is not a daily census or visits per day. Daily census could be 8, but visits could be maybe 20 if you are counting all the interactions with all parties on behalf of and including the patient. Coordinators attend meetings with doctors and other staff throughout the week.

Coordinators must be organized and able to work autonomously. Primary patient diagnoses include hematologic malignancies. Unit systems include Pyxis and EPIC.
