Facility questions

Ruby Memorial houses the Jon Michael Moore Trauma Center, the region's only ACS-verified Level I adult and Level II pediatric trauma center, treating more than 3,000 trauma patients a year. RNs in the ED, surgical ICU, and trauma units handle the highest-acuity cases referred from across West Virginia and neighboring states.

Ruby Memorial holds its fifth ANCC Magnet designation and is ranked the No. 1 hospital in West Virginia by U.S. News — markers of a structured shared-governance and nursing-excellence environment that travelers often look for.

As WVU Medicine's flagship academic center, Ruby concentrates acuity in the WVU Heart & Vascular Institute, the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, the WVU Cancer Institute (Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center), and the WVU Eye Institute, giving RNs cardiac, neuro, oncology, and surgical tracks.

WVU Medicine Children's, a 150-bed women's and children's tower, holds the area's only NICU and pediatric ICU, so neonatal and pediatric RNs have dedicated units rather than mixed adult-pediatric floors.

WVU Medicine uses Epic across its system, with MyWVUChart as the patient portal. RNs at Ruby Memorial document in Epic, which eases onboarding for travelers already familiar with the platform.
