The Registered Nurse operates out of “nursing pods” this allows them to have no more than four patients at a time which maintains a 4:1 patient-to-nurse ratio. OHH nursing pods allow the Registered Nurse to have close access to everything they need and have more time at the patient's bedside ensuring the highest quality care. As part of our nursing team, you are empowered to work collaboratively with our physicians and other caregivers, and play an integral role in setting the standard for excellence in patient care. With low, fixed nurse-to-patient ratios, our nursing team has time to get to know their patients and their families while providing the highest quality, safe, patient-focused care.
