The US Oncology Network

Nurse Navigator

The US Oncology Network Knoxville, TN 37932, US
Overview

We can’t do it without YOU!

 

Do you want to apply your experience, skills and education in a way that makes a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our patients and their families?  At Tennessee Cancer Specialists, it is the privilege of our employees to walk with our patients and their families as they move along the journey of fighting cancer. Whether you are working directly with patients in one of our clinics or in a support role, you are an important part of our mission to deliver the highest quality, compassionate care.  Our 300+ employees make up the teams at our 17 different East Tennessee locations!

 

As a Nurse Navigator, you will assist patients through education and review of treatment plans so they can fully understand the process and feel supported along the way.


Responsibilities

Here's what might happen on a typical day…

Your unique role on the Patient Navigation team gives you the opportunity to educate and assist patients who really need you during a tough time in their lives.  Your organization skills allow you to easily walk a patient through the navigation process, and your communication skills help you to stay on the same page with the Patient Advocate regarding the patient’s specific needs. 

Your compassion and active listening skills often make you one of the go-to team members for our patients and their family members when questions or issues arise.  You understand the importance of the guidance you provide to our patients, and you do so by working seamlessly with other areas of the practice.

Experiences that matter…

  • You demonstrate the knowledge, skill, and coordination to provide nursing care and guidance to the cancer patient from referral through survivorship.

 

  • In conversations with patients, coworkers and other professionals, you provide excellent customer service by rolling out the red carpet to meet their needs through communicating respectfully and thoroughly listening to all shared details.

 

  • The clinical knowledge you possess allows you to seamlessly provide teaching and respond to questions from our patients and their family members as they relate to oncology/hematology treatment plans. Your knowledge also puts you in a position to serve as a liaison throughout the facility and the community regarding this unique patient population.

 

  • You systematically perform the functions of assessing, planning, and evaluating the care of our patients including coordinating end-of-life care as it becomes necessary.

 

  • Your go-getter work ethic will have you ready to jump in and help out with any additional tasks.

Qualifications

For your safety, keep this in mind:

  • This position will require standing and walking for extended periods of time.
  • Any lifting should be limited to 40 pounds or less.
  • You will need manual dexterity, proper hand-eye coordination, full range of motion to possibly assist with lifting patients, and corrected vision and hearing to normal range.

We feel this position requires these basics:

  • A professional nursing degree is required with a BSN degree being preferred. A Tennessee State Nursing licensure is also required.
  • Additionally, your current BLS certification will be required upon hire. You either live in the Knoxville area or are in the process of relocating. This role is fully onsite.
