5 North is a 29-bed medical/surgical unit providing care to children of all ages with acute and chronic medical and surgical disease processes. Common disease processes include orthopedics, spinal fusion, neurosurgery, short bowel syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia, asthma, and sickle cell disease, among other medical and surgical illnesses.

Nurses have the unique opportunity to provide care to a diverse patient population. The unit emphasizes family centered care through a multidisciplinary team approach and patient/family education. The unit treats patients in the ages of infancy, to those yet to transition to adult care.

Patients treated include those recently released from NICU who need additional inpatient care. The acuity mix for this unit is higher than the typical acuity for most Med/Surg units. The daily patient to Nurse ratio on this unit is often reduced based on high acuity cases
