In this role, you’ll care for patients receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and supportive cancer care while working alongside a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.

You’ll combine strong clinical assessment skills with compassion and patient advocacy to help deliver an exceptional care experience.

What You’ll Do

• Assess, plan, implement, and evaluate individualized nursing care for oncology patients.
• Administer chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and other cancer-related treatments in accordance with established safety standards and protocols.
• Monitor patients for treatment response, adverse reactions, and side effects and intervene appropriately.
• Provide education to patients and families regarding diagnoses, treatment plans, medications, side effect management, and available resources.
• Coordinate care with physicians, advanced practice providers, social workers, nutritionists, radiation oncology, and other members of the interdisciplinary team.
• Serve as a patient advocate and help patients navigate their treatment and ongoing care needs.
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation within the electronic health record (EHR).
• Follow established infection prevention, medication safety, patient safety, and regulatory standards.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

• Ability to apply professional nursing standards with compassion, empathy, and sound clinical judgment.
• Strong communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively as part of an interdisciplinary healthcare team.
• Basic computer and electronic documentation skills.
