As our *Oncology Medical Nurse* at CHI St Vincent, you’ll help our patients during a very difficult time in their life. For patients who have cancer or the potential threat, their oncology nurse will be one of the most important people in their journey.

Our talented Oncology Medical RN’s have two solid traits: knowledge and passion.

We’ll teach you everything you need to know, which makes this a perfect starting point to launch your nursing career.
