Better Than Ever for Nurses. When we make things better than ever
for nurses at Banner Health, we make things better than ever for
all of us. This means investing in the holistic health and
happiness of our nurses-through better pay, better benefits, better
opportunities and a better community.
We're expanding! As part of our East Valley expansion efforts, we
are adding a new five-story tower to our Banner Gateway Medical
center that will bring 109 new patient beds upon initial opening,
with additional beds being added at a later date. The Banner
Gateway Medical Surgical Unit, is a very busy, 24-bed unit that
specializes in the care of oncology patients. Responsibilities
include: caring for patients from diagnosis to treatment of
chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation treatment, symptom
management, palliative (supportive) care, clinical trials, and care
of some stem cell patients. A high percentage of our patients have
a diagnosis of leukemia, but we care for patients with all types of
cancer. We are affiliated with MD Anderson Cancer Center and work
closely with them to ensure our patients get the best cancer care
possible. Many of our patients have extended stays to complete
their course of treatment. This allows us to really get to know
each patient and their family members, which helps to form a
therapeutic relationship/bond. Our nurses find this aspect of the
job very rewarding.
As a Stem Cell Registered Nurse you will have the unique
opportunity to not only provide the finest care possible, but to
advance the way care is provided. To achieve our vision, we seek
driven professionals who embrace change and who possess the passion
and skills to make it happen. Oncology or Stem Cell experienced RN
with BSN is highly preferred. Enjoy an 18%-night shift differential
and a flat rate $3/hour weekend shift differential. If working with
a great team is what you are looking for, apply today!
