About The Position

University of Utah Health is hiring an Oncology – Infusion/Acute Care Registered Nurse, with placement at a career level determined by the candidate’s qualifications, experience, assessed competencies, and demonstrated skills. The role provides direct bedside care to patients receiving intravenous cancer therapies and supportive treatments in outpatient infusion and acute care settings. Nurses monitor patients during treatment, identify and manage infusion-related complications, and respond rapidly to high-risk events such as hypersensitivity reactions, extravasation, and other oncologic emergencies. At advanced levels, nurses manage increasingly complex therapies and unstable patient presentations, exercise independent clinical judgment, and provide bedside leadership in high-risk treatment environments.

The position may be filled at Nurse Level 1 through Nurse Level 4. N1 nurses develop foundational skills under close supervision; N2 nurses independently manage routine care and escalate more complex needs; N3 nurses manage typical patient complexity and adapt care to clinical variations; and N4 nurses lead complex cases and serve as clinical resources and mentors.

University of Utah Health describes its mission as enhancing health and well-being through patient care, research, and education. Its organizational values include compassion, collaboration, innovation, responsibility, integrity, quality, and trust.
