Internships & Programs
Oncology
Oncology nursing has become one of the most progressive specialties
in the nursing profession. It challenges medical know-how
and technical expertise. But it also challenges your heart,
your soul, your emotions. Caring for cancer patients combines
skill, courage and talent. That’s the combination so
many men and women imagine when they decide to become nurse.
Available to new graduate nurses, the Oncology Nursing Internship
is a 2-year commitment to learning multiple aspects in adult
cancer care for: Hematology; Solid Tumors; and Bone Marrow
Transplant. During your internship, you’ll receive not
just a brief orientation, but year ‘round continuing
education. You’ll grow as you learn and as you’re
challenged. And you won’t be alone. You will have a
unit preceptor and an advanced practice nurses to guide, lead
and share personal insights and knowledge with you.
You’ll be involved in scheduled lectures, seminars,
and clinical rounds that enhance your understanding of the
entire continuum of care, both inpatient and outpatient. And
you’ll share in the highly professional attitudes and
respect that flow between nurses and physicians in this unique
field. In short, you’ll be an active member of an interdisciplinary
health care team - professionals serving a major research
center, the Southeast’s leading provider of cancer care.
An individualized learning contract outlines expectations
for each of the 3 parts of
the internship that includes clinical skills, critical thinking
