The Huntsman Cancer Hospital Nursing Education Department is staffed by five oncology certified nurse educators who provide inservices, staff development and just-in-time training for nursing staff in all inpatient and outpatient clinical areas. The oncology educators are department based, providing an oncology service line orientation to all nursing new hires and annual oncology based skill competency verification. All nurses have the opportunity to complete the Huntsman Cancer Hospital Oncology Basics course for continuing education hours.
