Oncology Pod is a specialized unit inside of the Emergency Department that treats Oncology Emergencies. Onc Pod provides the traditional fast paced, high acuity environment of an Emergency Department, while also providing exceptional care that is accustomed to The James. Patients in the Onc Pod can present for a variety non-oncology related illnesses as well as illnesses that arise from oncology related disease progression. Since Oncology Pod is a smaller section of OSU's Emergency Department, there are very strong relationships between staff members leading to a supportive environment. Nurses have opportunity to develop numerous skillsets and create relationships with James's patients in an Emergency setting.
