Cleveland Clinic

90d

About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Center and become part of one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. Known for its continuous clinical trials and cancer research, the Taussig Cancer Center ensures all patients receive top-quality patient care and have access to the newest advances in cancer treatment. Taussig RN Care Coordinators care for patients as the one point of contact throughout their oncology journey. They provide education to patients and their families regarding their disease, treatment plans, medications, and side effects and utilize their nursing knowledge and critical thinking skills to triage symptoms as they arise, responding to patient phone calls and MyChart messages. This nursing position is truly the best of both worlds as you are still patient-facing, patient-focused and a patient-advocate without the stress and strain of bedside shift work, working weekends or holidays. You can leave work each day knowing the impact of your role during the vulnerable time in our patient’s lives.
