Description

Infusion Nurse (RN)

Optimum Human + Southwest Women's Oncology | Albuquerque, New Mexico

Why This Role Matters

Every infusion represents a person placing their trust in us.

Some are fighting cancer. Some are pursuing recovery. Some are working to reclaim their health, vitality, and quality of life.

The Infusion Nurse is often the clinical professional who spends the most time with these patients during their treatment journey. That responsibility matters.

At Optimum and Southwest Women's Oncology, we believe clinical excellence and human compassion are not competing priorities - they are inseparable. We hire for attitude and aptitude above all else. Credentials matter, but who you are and how you grow matter more.

Who We Are

Southwest Women's Oncology (SWWO) is New Mexico's leading gynecologic oncology practice, delivering advanced cancer care with skill, courage, and compassion.

Optimum Human and Optimum Infusion extend that mission into performance medicine, infusion services, longevity, recovery, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, peptide therapies, hyperbaric medicine, aesthetics, and human performance.

Together, we operate as a single integrated platform committed to one mission: We exist to deliver new possibilities in medical care, human performance, and health by uniting passion, knowledge, and skill.

The Opportunity

This is not a "clock in, pass meds, clock out" role. You will work alongside physicians, advanced practice providers, clinical leaders, and multidisciplinary teams across:

• Oncology infusion and chemotherapy administration
• Specialty and biologics infusion therapies
• Hydration therapy
• Hormone optimization programs
• Performance and recovery medicine
• Medical weight loss programs
• Emerging infusion and wellness protocols

You’ll practice nursing in a uniquely integrated environment and help shape what exceptional patient care looks like.

Patient Education & Support

• Educate patients and families on treatment plans, medications, side effects, and post-treatment care.
• Provide emotional support and reassurance throughout the patient journey.
• Help patients feel informed, safe, respected, and supported at every step.

Care Coordination

• Collaborate with physicians, APPs, MAs, schedulers, and administrative teams for seamless care delivery.
• Support scheduling and flow of infusion appointments to optimize the patient experience.
• Communicate effectively with the care team regarding patient status and treatment updates.

Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain accurate, timely, and complete patient records in EMR systems.
• Follow all safety, regulatory, infection-control, and medication administration requirements.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify and contribute ideas to improve systems, processes, and patient outcomes.
• Participate in huddles, quality initiatives, and training.
• Raise standards through your example.

Who Thrives Here
