Oncology Travel Nursing Jobs
What is Oncology Nursing?
The practice of oncology nursing encompasses the roles of direct caregiver, educator, consultant, administrator, and researcher. Oncology nursing extends to all care delivery settings where clients experiencing, or at risk for developing cancer, receive health care, education, and counseling for cancer prevention, screening and detection.
Oncology nursing practice occurs along the continuum of care and across care delivery settings. Areas can include inpatient or outpatient settings at community hospitals or multi-hospital systems. Oncology nurses practice at National Cancer Institute-designed cancer centers or community cancer center settings. These nurses work in home health care, hospice, public health and community nursing. They develop private practices, work at physicians' offices, teach at schools of nursing, and practice in extended care facilities. Oncology nurses also work in the pharmaceutical industry and in occupation health settings.
Oncology Travel Nursing Jobs Outlook:
Currently there is a moderate demand for oncology nurses. Oncology nurses that hold specialty certifications such as OCN are most likely to be offered travel assignments from facilities. Generally most facilities like to see a minimum of two years of recent inpatient experience.
