This means more jobs in Oncology Centers in large medical facilities and top research facilities in some of the best travel locations are available and will continue to be available for Travel Nurses in these specialties.
Oncology RN's face one of the most rewarding and also one of the most challenging fields in nursing. The Oncology RN must care for patients during their most intimate and difficult moments. The RN is the one at the patient's bedside to educate and encourage them. When the patient needs help the Oncology RN is the one that has to be there for them. The RN is the patient's first line of communication and helps coordinate many aspects of care through the many treatments for cancer.
The Oncology Nurse may administer chemotherapy, monitor patient progress and treat the symptoms. Educating the patient and their family is also a large part of this job. Treatment options, procedures and particularities of the disease and much more must be explained so that informed decisions can be made. The Oncology RN must be emotionally stable as they have to deal with patients and families who are experiencing life and death situations.
Travel Nurse jobs in Oncology are available in all the major cities of the US. It's up to you to decide which location you fancy. Here are a couple of the many choices open to the Travel Nurse in the Oncology field today.
New York, NY- Is it time to visit the big city in the spring? Are you ready for some theatre and excitement in the Big Apple next year? If so, you might want to start making plans and arranging that travel assignment.
