The Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital Nurse Residency Program offers unique opportunities for newly licensed graduate nurses to transition from student to professional through a full‑time, structured, 14‑20 week paid orientation to the field of oncology nursing. The James is one of 40 National Cancer Institute‑designated comprehensive cancer centers and is the home of pioneering cancer research, prevention, and treatment in a dynamic university hospital setting.
