Description

New Graduate Registered Nurse | Medical Surgical Oncology

Build your nursing foundation. Develop your confidence. Make a difference from day one.

Are you a new graduate RN looking for a place where you can build strong clinical skills, gain experience caring for a diverse patient population, and grow alongside a supportive team?

Join the Med-Surg Oncology team at UNC Health Pardee and start your nursing career in an environment where every shift offers opportunities to learn, connect with patients, and become a more confident nurse.

Why start your nursing career on Med Surg Oncology?

Medical-surgical nursing provides new graduate nurses with an incredible foundation for their careers. On MSO, you'll care for patients with a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions while also gaining experience supporting patients throughout their cancer care journey.

As a new graduate RN, you'll have opportunities to strengthen your skills in:

  • Comprehensive patient assessment and ongoing reassessment

  • Medication administration and management

  • IV therapy, fluids, and other treatment modalities

  • Care of patients with multiple diagnoses and complex medical needs

  • Patient and family education

  • Prioritization, organization, and time management

  • Recognizing changes in patient condition and responding appropriately

  • Collaboration with physicians, nurses, pharmacy, therapy, case management, and other members of the interdisciplinary team

More than clinical skills

Nursing on Med Surg Oncology is also about building meaningful relationships.

You'll have the opportunity to care for patients and families during some of their most challenging moments. Compassion, communication, advocacy, and teamwork are just as important as strong clinical skills.

For a new graduate nurse, that combination creates an opportunity to develop not only what you know , but also who you are as a nurse .

  • Is eligible for or has obtained RN licensure

  • Is passionate about providing safe, compassionate, patient-centered care

  • Enjoys working with diverse patient populations

  • Values teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration

  • Is eager to strengthen assessment, prioritization, and critical-thinking skills

  • Wants to build a strong nursing foundation while continuing to learn and grow

Your nursing career starts here.

Your first nursing role should give you more than experience. It should give you a foundation for everything that comes next .

Whether you discover a passion for medical-surgical nursing, oncology, or another specialty along the way, Med Surg Oncology can help you develop the clinical judgment, confidence, compassion, and versatility that will serve you throughout your nursing career.
