The RN Transplant Coordinator is an integral member of UCLA
Health's Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program and is responsible for comprehensive
care coordination for oncology patients undergoing Autologous stem cell transplantation,
as well as CAR-T and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapies. This role collaborates
closely with a team of six Adult and Pediatric RN Coordinators, including those
supporting Allogeneic transplantation and Gene Therapies.
This is a highly specialized and complex position that
requires prior experience in Bone Marrow Transplantation and/or Cellular Therapy.
The RN Transplant Coordinator oversees and coordinates all aspects of the pre-transplant
and cellular therapy work-up process, including lab testing, diagnostic imaging,
biopsies, and other required evaluations. Key responsibilities also include placing
and tracking referrals, providing comprehensive education to patients and
caregivers regarding the transplant and cellular therapy process, connecting
patients with appropriate resources and proactively identifying and addressing barriers
to care. While this role requires a high degree of autonomy and clinical
expertise, the RN Transplant Coordinator is supported by a collaborative,
multidisciplinary team that includes Physicians, Nurse Practitioners,
Pharmacists, dedicated Insurance Coordinators and Financial Counselors, and
fellow Nurses - all whoare united in advancing
cutting-edge cellular therapies and optimizing patient outcomes.
This is a close-knit, mission-driven team, and we are
seeking a flexible, motivated, and compassionate nurse who thrives in a
collaborative, fast-paced environment and is committed to delivering
exceptional patient-centered care.
