Registered Nurse - Therapeutic Apheresis - RN

The Therapeutic Apheresis Treatment Unit is a hospital-based outpatient procedural area. Staff provide care for patients across the age continuum from neonate to geriatric. The procedures performed include donor collections and therapeutic treatments. Apheresis procedures separate whole blood into its components for collection or exchange, with the remaining components of the blood returned to the patient/donor. These procedures are critical, life-saving measures that are key components of stem cell transplants, CAR-T therapy, or health maintenance for chronic diseases. The Apheresis unit has 17 treatment bays. Staff also perform procedures in the inpatient setting and the operating rooms.
