The saddest I have seen was a mother who had been accused of munchausen by proxy but her daughter actually had an aggressive brain tumor

I work in a large teaching childrens hospital in peds Onco. Our hospital has a separate hematology floor. Oncology consists of inpatient Oncology, BMT, and outpatient clinic. The other nurse explained the differences between the 3 very well. I did want to add my 2 cents though about getting experience before starting in Onco. Our floor gets a good number of new grads every year. However, I think it would be quite beneficial to have good assessment skills as well as time management skills before you get to Oncology. I worked on another unit before transferring to Onco and definitely felt it was a good move for me. I have also seen some nurses struggle starting out in Onco.

I work in peds Onco. We use cyclosporin tubing (low sorbing) to give Etoposide.
