Responsibilities

Our new, state of the art St. Michael Medical Center is one of only four hospitals in our state to achieve Pathway to Excellence designation, which recognizes health care organizations for their commitment to ensuring excellence in the nursing profession. In Oncology, our patient population typically consists of medical patients, hematology patients (GI Bleeds), oncology patients, and patients receiving chemotherapy, but also patients with pain management issues (sickle cell, hospice patients) and, occasionally, surgical patients.

Our commitment to our Oncology team goes even farther! **If you have 6+ months acute care RN experience, and have a passion for Oncology,** **we will train you to care for the Oncology population** . Our Cancer Program is ACOS accredited, and we will help you to obtain your National Oncology Certification (OCN). OCN National Certified RN's will receive extra premium pay.

St. Michael Medical Center is excited about helping our employees be successful and obtain different certification that will assist them with growing in Oncology as well as in their role caring for our patients! We are excited to be able to offer the National Certification ACOS.
