The Surgical Oncology Registered Nurse plays a vital role in delivering high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals undergoing complex cancer-related surgeries. This position is primarily clinic-based and focuses on patient education, care coordination, post-operative follow-up, and phone triage. Nurses in this role support patients with hepatobiliary, breast, endocrine (thyroid and parathyroid), and other complex surgical oncology conditions, helping guide them through their treatment journey with compassion and expertise. While the role is not procedure-heavy, it is highly impactful, emphasizing communication, organization, and continuity of care.

Working closely with surgeons, advanced practice providers, and a multidisciplinary care team, the RN contributes to smooth clinical operations and excellent patient experiences. Daily responsibilities include phone triage, clinic support, rooming patients, assisting with procedure setup, coordinating care plans, and providing occasional wound care. The position offers a thorough onboarding experience with dedicated preceptorship and cross-training across specialties, making it well-suited for nurses with strong inpatient Medical/Surgical experience who are ready to transition into an ambulatory, oncology-focused environment.

This role offers a collaborative and supportive team culture that values professionalism, teamwork, and balance. With no Friday clinics, opportunities for administrative catch-up time and a predictable daytime schedule, nurses can enjoy a sustainable work-life balance while doing meaningful, challenging work. The department is known for its strong physician leadership, engaged colleagues, and positive team traditions, making Surgical Oncology an excellent home for nurses seeking long-term growth, stability, and the chance to make a difference in patients’ lives during critical moments of care.
