Oncology Travel Nursing Jobs Nationwide

What Oncology Travel Nurses Do

Oncology travel nurses play a critical role in delivering comprehensive care to individuals facing cancer. From initial diagnosis to active treatment and recovery, these professionals support physical and emotional well-being through expert clinical care. Oncology registered nurses are trained to handle complex medical needs, from administering chemotherapy & radiation care to managing long-term side effects.

As travel RNs, they are often tasked with stepping into high-demand facilities, quickly adapting, and working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.

Typical oncology RN responsibilities include:

• Conducting pre-treatment assessments and vital monitoring
• Administering chemotherapy, radiation, and supportive infusions
• Managing acute symptoms and medication reactions
• Educating patients and families on treatment plans and post-discharge care
• Offering emotional reassurance and coordinating with oncologists
