Hello!! This opportunity sounds great. Would hospital do this for CNA or PCA. I'm currently a nursing student, but I have my cna and can work these kind of hours.

Thank you so much for the advice. I know patients are fragile in this unit and the immune system is extremely sensitive. I will remember everything you said and I will do the best work I can. I lost my mother this July to ovarian cancer. I took care of her in her final days and i know how sensitive she was. To have to watch my beloved mother go through that pain was something i will never forget. I will treat all of these patiences with the upmost dignity and respect and will do the best job I can. I have one quick question. Should I read up a little bit on the subject to try to understand the different stages of cancer? The terms that will be used in this unit.. Let me know I really appreciate your post and I really appreciate you taking the time out before work. I will talk to you soon. Carla

Hello All Nurses community, I'm a pre-nursing student who just got hired as a PCA in an Oncology Unit. I don't have any prior experience working in this unit. I just got my CNA certificate in November. I'm so excited to get this opportunity. The hospital I will be working for is a teaching hospital so I think that's why they took me without any experience. I'm so grateful to get to have this opportunity. I was wondering if there is any RN out there who would share with me some of their experiences working in the Oncology Unit and also is there somethings that I can prepare myself for or maybe read up on. I really would like to prepare myself for this job. I'm so excited about this opportunity. I was wondering if I should look up post-mortum care (I think I spelled that right) I know in the interview she said I would be doing a lot of that. Please anyone get back to me I start my new positon on Jan 8th. I'm so excited.
