Becoming a nurse in our oncology department is a fulfilling and demanding career that requires a high-level of compassion, patience, and sensitivity, as well as excellent communication skills with critical thinking. The treatments that we utilize to treat patients require a great deal of detail, since it is critical to patient safety.

Additionally, members of the care team must be flexible, demonstrate openness toward diverse lifestyles, and have a passion for helping people. They must be prepared to meet the complex needs of their patients and maintain a calm, caring demeanor in an environment that can at times be unpredictable.
