Registered Nurse

Overview We can’t do it without YOU! Do you want your experience, skills, and education to make a meaningful and lasting difference in patients and their families? At Tennessee Cancer Specialists, it is the privilege of our employees to walk with our patients and their families as they move along the journey of fighting cancer. Whether you are working directly with patients in one of our clinics or in a support role, you are an essential part of our mission to deliver the highest quality, compassionate care. Our 300+ employees make up the teams at our 17 different East Tennessee locations. As a Registered Nurse , you will administer, monitor, and document chemotherapy and other infusion treatments for our patients according to treatment plans ordered by our oncology and hematology providers. Responsibilities Being an infusion nurse is a unique role that is both challenging and rewarding. You are our patients’ hero that walks with them through their journey. The patients look to you for education on their treatment, as well as emotional support. Because of the hours these patients spend in our infusion rooms, our nurses become like family. You become their champion. Your attention to detail and compassionate care are vital to the health of our patients. You thrive in a fast‑paced environment and have a passion for providing the level of service our patients deserve. Maintaining a patient‑focused mindset is always the goal. You have experience performing venipuncture and accessing ports to administer treatment to your patients. If you have your Chemo‑Immuno certification, you are ahead; if you have your OCN, even better. If not, we will get you certified within your first year. You provide excellent customer service by rolling out the red carpet to meet their needs and make them comfortable during a challenging time. In‑depth knowledge of the many types of infection treatments and willingness to stay current allows you to serve as a resource for patients and other clinical team members. Experience with navigating Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and familiarity with HIPAA, OSHA, and other safety guidelines will allow you to adapt to the workflow quickly.
