    Make a difference with our Infusion team! Located on the 5th floor of the Adult Outpatient Pavilion, the Infusion Clinic provides vital care to oncology patients and other medical patients with acuity ranges from well-managed chronic conditions to acutely ill. Our nurses provide our patients the compassionate care they need during their stays and are responsible for our patients’ safety while administering life-saving chemotherapy, biotherapy and other hazardous medications. The passion and dedication to our patients in the Infusion Clinic is beyond compare- our patients truly become a part of the larger infusion family as we often see them for many years over their lifetime. By joining the Infusion Clinic, you will be choosing a team that excels in teamwork and where leaders have a unique understanding of what you do. Our nurses develop a special skill set and become credentialed to hang oncology medications.

    Our clinic hours are 7am-7pm and we offer 4 10’s or 5 8’s with varying hours. We require some flexibility to work late shifts and some holidays and will have weekend hours in the future. At least 1 year of RN experience, preferably inpatient, is required and previous oncology experience is preferred. For part-time consideration, at least 1 year of oncology infusion experience in the last 3 years is required.
