The workplace
You would step onto units where some coworkers talk about teamwork and putting patients first, and others talk about feeling unsupported. You would likely see 12-hour days; a travel listing here used that pattern, and system reviews talk about shift…
Your fit
Questions to ask
- Can you walk me through base pay range and differentials?
- What should I expect for weekly hours, weekend, holiday, call, and rotation?
- What orientation, preceptor time, and ongoing unit support are included?
- How are patient load, floating, and staffing support handled day to day?
On your path
Oncology is a specialty you move into. Chemo cards are the working credential; infusion hires in too.
