We won 2 of 600 of all of med-surg units nationwide of HCA. We have more primary nursing here and less use of PCTs (CNAs). This is a team decision, as the care of the patients are majority nurse interventions. WE have a team culture where we take care of each other and help each other care for our patients. We are fun- loving, dedicated and knowledgeable Oncology nurses and love what we do!! General Comments No. of Positions: 1/1. Position creation reason:Vacant Position
