Perioperative Nursing

Hoag also works in conjunction with several local colleges in programs that provide diverse clinical training for nurses interested in the perioperative field and is proud to utilize advance practice nurses through its RNFA program. In addition, our nurses work with specially trained preceptors to get a well-rounded education that prepares them to work in all specialty areas.

Hoag also operates three outpatient satellite surgical centers where more than 10,000 surgeries are performed each year. James Irvine Surgical Center, the first hospital-affiliated outpatient surgery facility of its kind in California has three surgical suites. Outpatient surgery is also performed at the Orthopedic Surgical Center of Orange County with two surgical suites and Hoag Newport SurgiCare with three surgical suites and a procedure room. Each center is self-contained with separate admission and registration areas, a pre-operative area, OR suites and recovery rooms.

Patients also receive outpatient treatment at Hoag's Eye Clinic, GI lab and Hoag Cancer Center. In addition, Hoag Hospital operates six satellite facilities - Hoag Health Centers - that bring Hoag's services to surrounding communities in Orange County.

Medical/Surgical

Medical/Surgical nurses at Hoag spend more time in direct patient care and less time doing paperwork because of Hoag's efficient Open Electronic Chart system. Nurses also enjoy the convenience of an intra-hospital pneumatic tube system that permits quicker delivery of pharmaceuticals and important information which aids in meeting patients' needs. Hoag also utilizes an automated system for dispensing commonly used pharmaceuticals. Each of these time-saving systems allow our nurses more time to provide quality care to their patients.

Staff nurses have the opportunity to participate in a variety of forums to provide input on important issues as well as gaining clinical expertise at the bedside. With Hoag's progressive approach to evaluating nursing care delivery, medical/surgical nursing offers outstanding opportunities for teamwork, leadership and growth in patient care.

Critical Care

In both our ICU and Sub-ICU, the variety of patient care varies widely, enabling nurses to work in-depth across many disciplines. In the ICU, nurses coordinate specialized patient care with an emphasis in neuro-surgery; while in the Sub-ICU, there are diverse opportunities to work with patients needing individualized care in cardiac surgery, general medicine, neurology and oncology.

Hoag's emergency care unit is one of the busiest emergency departments in Orange County, treating more than 50,000 patients a year as one of seven paramedic base stations in the county. And, because of the close proximity to a variety of beaches, water sports and recreation facilities, many injuries relating to these activities are treated in Hoag's ECU.

At Hoag, opportunities in the critical care field include cardiac cath lab, radiology special procedures, telemetry and our inpatient dialysis, GI lab and ambulatory care recovery units. Hoag's commitment to the critical care field includes a critical care core program that offers individualized training for career growth.

Maternal/Child

Hoag childbirth nurses are a key part of Hoag's comprehensive Women's Health Services team. With more than 4,600 births per year, Hoag Hospital is a leading resource for guiding new parents through a positive birth experience. Hoag was the first in Orange County to offer a team of in-house OB specialists available 24-hours a day, seven days a week. This specialized medical team includes obstetricians, neonatologists, perinatologists and anesthesiologists who are available to provide immediate response round-the-clock. The child-birth center also houses a state-of-the-art neonatal intensive care unit and a fetal diagnostics unit.

Hoag's LDR suites provide mothers-to-be with both comfort and privacy in a homelike setting. New parents are also provided with support and training in how to care for their newborn through access to certified lactation consultants and childbirth educators. Complementing Hoag Childbirth Center is a pediatrics unit and comprehensive satellite women's health services center.

The future of Hoag Women's Health Services is even more exciting, with plans for constructing a new seven-story Women's Pavilion. This new facility will house 18 labor and delivery suites, 42 private postpartum rooms and a new 21-bassinet neonatal intensive care unit as well as many other patient care services.

Oncology

At Hoag Cancer Center, oncologists and nurses continuously work as a team to provide the highest quality patient care. Nurses attend regular teaching rounds with oncologists and researchers to provide significant opportunities for personal growth and education.

A full range of challenging opportunities exist for nurses at Hoag Cancer Center such as Hoag's in-patient Oncology Unit, which specializes in delivering compassionate care to oncology patients undergoing active treatment for their disease, including patients undergoing autologous bone marrow transplants and specialty treatments such as Interleukin Therapy.

Opportunities also exist for career excellence in oncology surgery, radiation therapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, pheresis, chemotherapy, biotherapy and immunotherapy. In addition, Hoag places special emphasis on patient and family education programs with our nursing professionals at the center of these community support programs.
