We understand the amount of work required to learn and keep up with the different types of treatments. We recognize how your attention to detail and compassionate care are vital to the health of our patients. It would be best if you thrive in a fast pasted environment.

 Experiences that matter… 

  • You have experience performing venipuncture and accessing ports to administer treatment to your patients.
  • If you have your Chemo-Immuno certification, you are ahead of the game. Of course, having your OCN is even better! But, don’t worry if you don’t; we will get you certified in Chemo-Immuno Administration within your first year.
  • In conversation with our patients, you will provide excellent customer service by rolling out the red carpet to meet their needs and make them feel as comfortable as possible during a challenging time in their lives.
  • Your in-depth knowledge of the many types of infection treatments available and willingness to stay current in these areas allows you to serve as a resource for patients and other clinical team members.
  • Experience with navigating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and familiarity with HIPAA, OSHA, and other safety guidelines will allow you to adapt to the workflow of this position quickly. 
  • Communicating respectfully and promptly will keep all necessary team members on the same page to maintain the quality care of your patients.
