New Grad wants to work in Hem/Onc/BMT


I will graduate with my BSN in May, and I have my heart set on moving to Portland. Please don't try to discourage me -- I know all about the rain and all that stuff. I spent this past summer working as an extern at the Mayo Clinic in the Hem/Onc/BMT unit and I love it. That's what I want to do after I graduate. I am looking for new grad programs in Portland that will hire me in that specialty. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!!

Would never discourage you from Portland, it's an awesome place. One of the places I would look is at the Legacy Health System website. There are 5 hospitals in the Legacy system, and they hire new grads through the Nurse Internship program. Applications are collected twice a year, usually in fall and spring. There are frequently areas in oncology offered through this program. (I personally got a job in onology this way, and a few of my classmates were able to get into oncology units as well.)

Good luck!!!
