What Does an Oncology Nurse Do?
An oncology nurse is a registered health professional who provides many valuable services to cancer patients and their families. He or she might be responsible for cancer screening, assisting doctors in treatment sessions, discussing care options with patients, counseling friends and family members, or providing educational information to the public. Most oncology nurses work in general hospitals, inpatient and outpatient cancer centers, home health care industries, and cancer research institutions.
