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.

Some Oncology Nurses also work in Oncologists’ offices to educate patients and administer some treatments.
