Medical Cardiovascular/Medical Specialties (F8) Unit F8 is a 30 bed adult inpatient unit specializing in the care and treatment of patients on the Medicine, Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery teams. The adult patients are age 18 and older. Patients are routinely admitted to F8 for chest pain, CHF, post Percutaneous Coronary Interventions, and post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. F8 also serves as a women’s health off-service placement area. Adolescent patients are accepted for the women’s health population, but couplet care is not permitted. The patient population originates through the Emergency Department, Outpatient clinics, transfers from outside facilities, and transfers from other units/departments at UAMS. Medical Oncology (H7) This new unit has 30 private rooms and provides state of the art therapies to a wide range of medical oncology patients. Practicing in this environment allows the RN to develop skills in chemotherapy and biotherapy administration, management of a range of IV central access devices, management of a variety of symptoms associated with the disease and/or treatment, and development of skills in emotional support and palliative care. A strong interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and social workers support the patient in their various therapies.
