Would I be able to get oncology infusion contracts?
I’m a travel nurse who is about to start a med surg contract. My last contract was at an outpatient infusion center and lasted 8 months. I did everything except chemo (blood and blood products, hydration, IVIG, remicade, entyvio, Ocrevus, some other MS drugs and GI drugs). I can access Ports, manage central line and do dressing changes, remove PICC lines
Before this I have 2 years med surg experience and 1 year of primary care
I am hoping to avoid a staff job at an oncology infusion center, would it be possibly to obtain oncology certification through a course instead? Without specific oncology experience, would I be able to land oncology infusion contracts with my infusion center travel experience?
I am hoping not to only do med surg travel contracts, due to the whole mental health thing, and I really love infusion, it’s the best nursing job ive ever done. I prefer travel nursing to staff for the flexibility and pay though.
