About The Position

University of Utah Health is seeking an Oncology – Infusion/Acute Care Registered Nurse to provide 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, including hypersensitivity reactions, extravasation, and other oncologic emergencies. As nurses progress through career levels, they manage increasingly complex therapies and unstable patient presentations while supporting safe treatment delivery across the infusion and acute care continuum. Advanced levels demonstrate deep technical expertise, independent clinical decision-making, and bedside leadership in high-risk treatment environments.

The role may be filled at multiple career levels according to the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and demonstrated skill set. Candidates may be considered for appropriate placement within the practice setting and assessed through interviews and other job-related evaluations. Final level and compensation are determined at the time of offer based on assessed competencies, experience, and alignment with the level’s requirements. Some levels may carry additional certification, education, and experience requirements.

Career levels include Nurse Level 1 (N1), an entry-level supervised learner developing foundational clinical skills; Nurse Level 2 (N2), a developing independent practitioner who manages routine care and escalates more complex needs; Nurse Level 3 (N3), an experienced practitioner who manages typical patient complexity, anticipates needs, and adapts care; and Nurse Level 4 (N4), an advanced clinician who leads complex cases and serves as a clinical resource and mentor.

University of Utah Health is a patient-focused organization committed to enhancing health and well-being through patient care, research, and education. Its mission emphasizes collaboration, excellence, leadership, respect, compassion, innovation, responsibility, integrity, quality, and trust.
