Oncology Nurses serve as a crucial part of a patient’s cancer care team, often coordinating the treatment and services the patient receives. They typically work in hospitals and outpatient care centers where patients receive cancer treatments. In hospital settings, they might help with surgery prep, patient education and coordination of other cancer treatments. In outpatient care centers, Oncology Nurses typically help with treatments such as chemotherapy and infusions while monitoring patients’ vitals. Some Oncology Nurses also work in Oncologists’ offices to educate patients and administer some treatments. An Oncology Nurse works closely with individual patients and often becomes a constant for the patient, which can provide comfort and consistency.
