We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Oncology Registered Nurse to provide exceptional care to patients in a 17-bed MedSurg/Oncology medical-surgical unit.

The unit uses Cerner, has one nurse aide available for eight hours on day shifts, and has 24/7 pharmacy and respiratory therapy support. A charge nurse provides supervision and break relief without a patient assignment.
