Overview: Oncology Nurse Jobs

As an oncology nurse, you provide care and support for patients who are at risk for developing cancer and who are currently battling the disease. Your duties include collaborating with an interdisciplinary team, coordinating care, administering treatments, managing symptoms, and helping to improve the quality of life for patients of various ages.

If you’re looking for oncology nurse jobs, you’re in the right place. Start exploring the latest full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and per diem openings right here on IntelyCare. You can also search for nurse oncology jobs for your license type:

Oncology Nurse Education and Skills

No matter what level of nursing you’re at — nurse practitioner, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or nursing assistant — in order to work in this specialty area, you’ll need to have completed a formal nursing education from an accredited institution and hold an unencumbered license/certification for your role.

For certain oncology nurse openings, you may be required to have a minimum number of years of clinical experience to qualify. In addition, employers may prefer nursing professionals who hold certain certifications. For example, the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) offers four different certifications for registered nurses and one for oncology NPs:

Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN)
Certified Pediatric Hematology Oncology Nurse (CPHON)
Certified Breast Care Nurse (CBCN)
Blood and Marrow Transplant Certified Nurse (BMTCN)
Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner (AOCNP)

Depending on what job you’re pursuing, it can also be beneficial to obtain IV certification or chemo certification.

Oncology Nurse Resume and Cover Letter

To put yourself in a favorable position when applying to oncology nursing jobs, tailor your resume and cover letter to each individual ad. Yes, this process takes a bit more effort, but it can help boost your odds of getting noticed.

For example, if an employer is looking to hire an RN who can use “effective communication to participate with the patient and family in collaborative decision making,” put that phrase in your oncology nurse resume. It’s a smart way to show that you have the skills that are needed in the role.

In your cover letter, share a story about a time you used communication skills in a previous position to help promote effective group decision making. You’ll also want to let the reader know why you want to work for this particular facility.

Interviewing for an Oncology Nurse Job

If you’re nervous about an upcoming job interview, do yourself a favor and practice your answers to common oncology nurse interview questions in advance. Bonus tip: Review the employer’s mission statement and talk about how your own values are a perfect match.

Salary for Oncology Nurse Positions

Your salary will depend on a number of factors such as your years of experience, facility, location, certifications, and level of education. For example, the average annual oncology NP salary is around $124,000 and the average annual oncology RN salary is around $87,000.
