PRN Oncology RN Days
About The Position

The role offers opportunities to develop critical-thinking skills and perform head-to-toe assessments, administer chemotherapy, manage pain, and provide specialized cancer care. A basic understanding of dysrhythmias is required because some oncology patients may need cardiac monitoring. Nurses work with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, dietitians, social workers, and massage therapists. New graduate nurses are welcome. The Oncology Nurse assesses and identifies patient needs, implements appropriate interventions, and establishes and maintains a plan for delivering nursing care.
