Registered Nurse

The Oncology (4N) inpatient unit is located on the 4th floor of Goshen Hospital. This is an 18 bed step down unit with a patient population primarily with a cancer diagnosis. This unit also houses inpatient hospice patients and overflow step-down patients. Our target RN to Patient ratio for our step-down units is 1:3.

Practices consistent with the mission, vision, and values of Goshen Health.

Excellent communication skills and teamwork are essential as the nurse collaborates with a broad spectrum of providers, including family practice, hospitalist, medical oncologist, surgical oncologist and ancillary units to achieve excellent patient outcomes.

Oncology nurses are required to obtain and maintain competencies in Chemo, ACLS, and BLS. Certification is promoted and encouraged. Recognition is given to those who maintain their certification through our clinical ladder.
