Where compassion meets clinical excellence—and balance is encouraged.

Are you a new graduate nurse whose heart is drawn to oncology and whose calm presence shines when patients need it most? Do you thrive in environments where learning, teamwork, and support are not just buzzwords—lived values?

25–bed inpatient oncology unit cares for a diverse and meaningful patient population, ranging from medical–surgical to step–down, with the ability to flex staffing based on patient acuity.

• Nurse–to–patient ratios adjust with acuity
  • Lower acuity: up to 5 patients
  • Higher acuity / step–down: as few as 3 patients
• The unit is evolving into a mixed critical care environment, offering exposure to higher–level monitoring and complex oncology care— with strong clinical support.
• Patients may experience rapid changes in condition, and teamwork is essential to ensure early recognition and intervention.

This is an ideal environment for new nurses who want strong foundations now—and expanded skills for the future.

You may be newly licensed, but you bring:

• A true passion for oncology nursing and patient advocacy
• Emotional intelligence and compassion for patients and families facing life–altering diagnoses
