I am currently a nursing student and would love to work in the oncology unit, maybe even peds oncology. I am just curious as to how everyone on here has gotten into oncology? What are some things that I can do now as a student to help me with my nursing career in oncolgy? How can I get involved? Would an internship be helpful? Any good oncology books that I can look into? Thanks for your advice and help!

I am currently a nursing student and looking into oncology nursing. I always have thought that this is the field I would love to work in, but would like to hear from actual oncologist nurses who do the job everyday! What are the pros and cons on the oncology unit. What do you like and dislike about your job as an oncologist nurse? Thanks for your help!

I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Even though I am just a nursing student and have no resourses to suggest, I did want to let you know that my thoughts are with you and your family. The nurses who are there with your sister are truly there for you and your family through everything. -bernhaal

Chrissy, How exciting:) I am a nursing student still and am new on here as well. Once I graduate, I hope to be where you are and working on an Oncology unit. Let me know how it goes for you! Good Luck! -bernhaal
