We are a high-impact, fast-paced nursing unit that works with challenging patient-care issues allowing nurses to practice at the top of their scope and abilities. On 7 East we encounter a variety of patient conditions and care modalities. We see complex wound care with a variety of drains and devices, traumatic injuries, including chest-wall injuries requiring chest-tubes and respiratory support, traumatic brain injuries presenting their own complex challenges, and complex spinal cord injuries as well as other medical and surgical conditions that our patients experience. 7 East nurses work collaboratively with care management, surgical and medical services, rehabilitation services and perioperative services. 7 East is also a nationally-recognized Comprehensive Bariatric Surgery Center, working with patients undergoing Bariatric weight-loss surgeries and experiencing the renewal that can provide those patients. 7 East has both step-down and floor patients allowing nurses to experience two levels of care, the breadth and time-management of the floor, and the depth and critical thinking of the step-down. We maintain a ratio of 1:6 for the floor and 1:3 for the Step-down.
