Upon admission to Hartford Hospital, patients are cared for on North 11, the Advanced Organ Support and Transplantation Unit.
North 11 is a 26-bed nursing unit. The patient population is primarily organ transplant recipients, donors and patients with end-stage organ disease. Our staff is a highly specialized team of 25 nurses, 1 APRN and 2 PAs.
There are also 15 patient care assistants, 5 patient administrative assistants and 2 patient support assistants.
The nursing orientation is quite extensive involving 8-10 weeks of
classroom and clinical time. The orientation covers the spectrum of
transplantation from pre-transplant to transplant to post-transplant.
The North 11 Clinical Team |
Observing an actual transplant is part of the orientation. The management of North 11 is comprised of a unit director and unit manager who provide clinical leadership and manage resources while ensuring the highest quality patient care.
