Thanks so much for the suggestions. I will definitely follow up with them. Can you suggest any Oncology books? I know it won't be easy, but it's good to know that it is possible!

Hi! I have been a nurse for 18 years, but I haven't practiced in a hospital in over 13 years. I took some time off to raise my kids, and have been working in pediatric homecare and school nursing. I really want to pursue adult oncology with hopes of working with breast cancer patients. I've applied to every oncology position with no luck. I took a RN Refresher course about 4 years ago but it didn't lead to anything. Since I'm not a new grad, I'm not eligible for the nurse intern programs offered. I am willing to work without pay or as a nursing assistant to get some experience. So...is it too late for me? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi! Just wondering if you and your classmates were able to get jobs in the OR after completing this program? I looked into it about a year ago, but the instructor was very vague about the number of students who were actually able to secure employment. Also, did you have trouble getting a clinical site? The three that I was interested in were already taken, and I was kind of on my own to find another. I am thinking of looking into it again and would appreciate any info. Thanks!
