Cell Therapy and Transplant Coordinator - RN
About The Position
Help guide patients through some of the most advanced and life-changing treatments in cancer care. ChristianaCare is seeking an experienced and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our Cell Therapy and Transplant Program. In this highly collaborative role, you will serve as a central point of coordination for patients and families navigating stem cell transplantation and CAR-T therapy—helping ensure that every step of their care is thoughtfully planned, communicated, and coordinated. This is an exceptional opportunity for an oncology or hematology nurse who wants to expand their impact beyond the bedside while remaining deeply connected to patients, families, and the clinical care team. Working alongside physicians, nurses, ancillary services, and external partners, including the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), you will help coordinate the complex clinical journey from initial evaluation and donor search through treatment and post-transplant care.
