Oncology NP- radiation exposure? Trying to get pregnant.

Published

I am a new grad interested in oncology NP but I have also been trying to conceive for a while. 

Is there any reason to be concerned of radiation exposure whilst trying to conceive and if that could negatively impact a pregnancy?

Wondering if any oncology NPs out there can share their experience, whether they need to administer certain chemotherapeutic drugs that RNs can not do (IV push, intrathecal, epidural, etc...).

Hi there, 

I know that my comment doesn’t answer your question but I was hoping you could help me answer my question. I am RN; I am transferring from MedSurg to oncology unit. I wanted to be little prep myself before starting there. Is there any guide book you can recommend that can make it easier to work in oncology unit?
