I'm a new RN (20 months now) and have been working on a hem-onc, med-onc unit is a large hospital teaching hospita. I've learned a lot and have really enjoyed it. But.....I am sick of the 12 hour shifts, flipping back and forth between nights and days, and working waaaay to many weekends.

A position in Radiation Oncology has opened up and I am interviewing on Friday. This job is 10 hour days, no nights and no weekends... a good place to start in a job change about now. Ha Ha

I would really appreciate it if some of you could tell me what the nurse's role is in Rad-Onc and how the work compares with work on an onc unit. Any tips on interviewing, etc... anything else you might want to pass along.

FYI: I was a diagnostic, rad-tech for about 8 years back in the 1980's so I do have some knowledge of the science of radiography.

Thanks so much for your help,

Joanne
