Facility questions

RWJUH New Brunswick is a Level I adult trauma center and New Jersey's first designated pediatric trauma center, backed by a 2024 trauma intensive-care unit with 12 ICU rooms — high-acuity ground for ED, trauma, and critical-care RNs.

RWJUH describes its nursing practice as one of only seven in the world to earn Magnet recognition six consecutive times — a strong draw for travelers who value Magnet environments.

The hospital is the flagship of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey — the state's only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center — with proton therapy among its treatment options, giving oncology RNs academic-scale cancer care.

Heart, kidney, and pancreas transplantation, a recognized cardiovascular program, a comprehensive stroke center, and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Children's Hospital (Level I pediatric trauma) concentrate transplant, cardiac, neuro, and pediatric acuity.

RWJBarnabas Health runs Epic, with MyChart (mychart.rwjbh.org) as the patient portal. RNs at New Brunswick document in Epic, easing onboarding for travelers already familiar with it.
