Job Description

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
Post-procedure and ongoing medical care
Symptom management and supportive care
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.

Built for new nurses

You don't need to have everything figured out on your first day. We're looking for new nurses who are compassionate, curious, eager to learn, and ready to grow.

Through UNC Health Pardee's Newly Licensed Registered Nurse experience, you'll have the opportunity to transition from nursing student to professional nurse while developing your clinical judgment, confidence, and independence.

We're Looking For Someone Who

Is graduating soon or has recently graduated from an accredited nursing program
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.

Ready to take the next step from nursing student to registered nurse? Apply today and start your nursing career with the Med Surg Oncology team at UNC Health Pardee.
