At Good Samaritan Hospital, we believe that oncology care is more than just treatment—it’s about guiding patients through one of the most challenging journeys of their lives. We are looking for a compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Oncology Unit, where you’ll provide critical care to patients battling cancer and support them at every stage of their treatment. If you’re ready to make a lasting impact and work in an environment where empathy and expertise go hand in hand, we want to hear from you.

Imagine stepping onto the oncology floor, where each day brings a new challenge and a new opportunity to change lives. As an Oncology RN, you’ll be a vital part of a multidisciplinary team that helps patients navigate the complexities of cancer treatment—from chemotherapy to radiation to post-surgical care. Your role goes far beyond administering medications or managing symptoms; you’ll build deep, trusting relationships with your patients, providing not only medical care but emotional support during their toughest moments.

You’ll assess patient conditions, manage side effects from treatments, monitor lab results, and adjust care plans in collaboration with oncologists and other specialists. Every patient is different, and your sharp clinical skills will help tailor care to meet their specific needs. Whether you’re working with a newly diagnosed patient, helping a long-term patient manage treatment fatigue, or supporting a family through end-of-life care, your compassion and dedication will make a profound difference.

In the oncology unit, you’ll also play a critical role in educating patients and their families about their treatment options, helping them understand what to expect, and empowering them to participate in their care. You’ll help patients feel seen, heard, and supported as they face physical, emotional, and psychological challenges.

Oncology nursing is about balance—the balance between technical skill and human connection. Your ability to remain calm under pressure and provide reassurance to patients will be key. While the work can be demanding, the bonds you form with patients and families make every day meaningful, and you’ll leave each shift knowing that you’ve made an impact on the lives of those in your care.
