Nursing jobs in oncology units are among the most challenging and rewarding jobs in the entire nursing field. Oncology nurses are caregivers, educators, and advocates for patients and families dealing with cancer.

Oncology nurses practice in inpatient or outpatient settings in hospitals or multi-hospital health systems; at National Cancer Institute-designed cancer centers or community cancer center settings. These nurses work in home health care, hospice, public health and community nursing. They develop private practices, work at physicians’ offices, teach at schools of nursing, and practice in extended care facilities.

In addition to being a Registered Nurse (RN), oncology nurses have at a minimum a base of cancer-specific knowledge and demonstrated clinical experience in cancer treatment. More advanced levels of oncology nurse practice requires, at a minimum, a masters degree and often requires professional development beyond a masters.

Yet oncology nursing is also rated in many surveys as the most rewarding nursing field. The many stresses and challenges create a rewarding atmosphere where excellence is rewarded. Because of the demands, oncology nurses are in demand across the country, in all practice settings. Please submit your resume today.
