New Grad & New Oncology Nurse!

Congratulations!!!! I too am a new BSN Grad RN (December 13th) and a new oncology nurse. HoorahFly, the ONS has a mentor program available that I am planning to participate. You can check it out at http://www.ons.org/membership/mentoring/. I too would like to hear about any tips from our senior colleagues as we start our new career. Wishing you well.

Thanks for the link scadams29. I'm a new grad too and will be soon working in an Oncology unit for a hospital. I was hoping to get a med/surg position but with the economy today, it is so difficult to just get a new grad job in the acute care setting.
How do you like it so far?

I have not started yet. I'll be on an oncology med/surg floor in women's health- so mostly gynecological cancers. I plan to take and pass my nclex in march and will start then. What area are you from? What type of oncology floor are you or will you be working on?

Best of luck with your NCLEX! I live in SF bay area and will be working in the Oncology unit in one of the hospitals in the East Bay. Where are you from?

Thanks! I live in the northeast ohio area (Cleveland-Akron). Have you taken your NCLEX yet? When will you start your orientation?

Hi ,
I will graduate in May 2009 and I 'm interested in oncology floor. Do you know where I can find a job in hospital on this floor, as you know the economy right now is so bad, It is not so easy to find a job for a new graduate student. Do you give me some hints?
