Moffitt Cancer Center

29d • $36 - $55

About The Position

Moffitt Cancer Center is seeking a Nurse Resident to provide individualized, quality nursing care to cancer patients and their families in outpatient oncology settings. Care is delivered in accordance with hospital guidelines, the nursing professional practice model, nursing care standards and policies, the ANA Code of Ethics, and external regulatory requirements. Registered Nurses use the nursing process to plan and manage patient care, addressing biophysical, psychosocial, environmental, self-care, educational, and discharge-planning needs through timely documentation and age-appropriate care. The role emphasizes personalized, patient- and family-centered care and the caring factors of Duffy’s quality caring model.

The Ambulatory Care Oncology Nurse Residency Program supports newly licensed nurses in transitioning from student to clinician and developing oncology as a specialty. Newly licensed BSN nurses complete a 12-week clinical orientation, rotating through ambulatory areas with a preceptor. This position rotates through two outpatient oncology clinics and one treatment center, with up to one month in each selected unit during the first 90 days of employment. After the rotations, residents are matched to an area based on openings and fit. During the first 12 months, residents also participate in programs outside their unit for one or two days each month, attend monthly reflective-practice sessions, and receive ongoing guidance from a mentor. The program includes classroom and simulation learning and prepares graduates to apply for advancement through the Clinical Ladder.

Nurse Residents must sign a commitment agreement to work full-time at the Cancer Center as a Registered Nurse for at least two years. If the employee does not successfully complete the residency or the subsequent two-year commitment, they agree to refund a prorated amount of the program cost. Further details are provided with an offer.
