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

Here’s what might happen on a typical day…

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.

We understand the amount of work required to learn and keep up with the different types of treatments. We recognize how your attention to detail and compassionate care are vital to the health of our patients. It would be best if you thrive in a fast pasted environment. In addition, you must have a passion for providing the level of service our patients deserve. Maintaining a patient-focused mindset is always the goal, and you do this well!

Experiences that matter…

If you have your Chemo-Immuno certification, you are ahead of the game. Of course, having your OCN is even better! But, don’t worry if you don’t; we will get you certified in Chemo-Immuno Administration within your first year.
In conversation with our patients, you will provide excellent customer service by rolling out the red carpet to meet their needs and make them feel as comfortable as possible during a challenging time in their lives.
Your in-depth knowledge of the many types of infection treatments available and willingness to stay current in these areas 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 of this position quickly.
Communicating respectfully and promptly will keep all necessary team members on the same page to maintain the quality care of your patients.
