Are you looking to change nursing specialties? Interested in exploring oncology nursing? We are willing to train and support you in learning radiation oncology nursing. This is a unique nursing specialty with opportunities for professional growth and development as an oncology nurse. Nurses lead care coordination, manage radiation related toxicities in partnership with a strong team of providers, assist in complex innovative high dose radiation procedures and provide important patient education and supportive care.

As part of a nationally recognized NCI Designated Cancer Center the Department of Radiation Oncology treats patients who have malignant and non-malignant diseases utilizing a variety of radiation delivery techniques. This includes external beam radiation and high dose rate radiation delivered via catheters. Radiation therapy services are delivered as part of a multi-specialty team and approach to care. Our team includes physicians, RNs, radiation therapists, physicists, and dosimetrists.

This specific position will specialize in genitourinary (GU=prostate and gynecological) cancer radiation treatment. The GU radiation nurse role will include coordination and assisting in procedures as well as clinic nursing care. Radiation nurses describe the role as part inpatient nursing and part clinic nursing; this is due to the high acuity of patients in an academic medical center setting, nursing care of actual inpatients transported for treatment, and complex procedural nursing roles. Radiation Nurses work either 8-hour or 10-hour shifts; no weekends or holidays. We are committed to providing high quality patient care, teamwork and are dedicated to a culture of safety.

Come join our team and expand your knowledge and skill set as a radiation oncology nurse!
