The Duke Cancer Institute Outpatient Oncology Program is designed to help new graduate nurses launch their careers in an ambulatory oncology infusion setting. Participants gain hands‑on experience across Duke Cancer Institute's outpatient locations in Durham, Raleigh, and Wake County while building specialized knowledge in oncology and infusion nursing.

This program is intended for new graduate nurses who are interested in beginning their nursing career in outpatient oncology infusion.

The program begins with one week of general orientation, followed by dedicated classroom learning and hands‑on skills training. Participants then transition into patient care areas while continuing to receive oncology‑ and infusion‑specific education throughout the program.

This program primarily offers a daytime schedule, generally working four 10‑hour shifts per week, with limited weekend requirements depending on the assigned outpatient location.

During the program, participants rotate through Duke Cancer Institute outpatient facilities, gaining exposure to multiple teams, workflows, and patient populations before permanent placement.

Throughout the rotational experience, nurse residents and clinical leaders work together to identify the best fit based on interests, strengths, and available openings. Once matched to a location, nurses complete an additional unit‑specific orientation.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants are placed into infusion nursing roles at one of Duke Cancer Institute's outpatient locations in Durham, Raleigh, or Wake County.
