For patients diagnosed with cancer, having resources available outside of the clinic and hospital walls will be vital to their care and quality of life. Oncology nurses are at the frontline of referring appropriate resources to patients and your interviewer wants to hear how you will prioritize this in your work. Keep in mind that these resources can come in the form of supportive care, home health, support groups, and even alternative treatments. This is where you can allow your local knowledge to shine, so be sure to do your homework ahead of time and come prepared to talk about some of these community resources that you are familiar with.

"The care that a patient receives in this cancer center, from chemotherapy to radiation and surgery, are so vital to their care and recovery, but it's a reality that there is so much more available for them out there to help their quality of life and to help support them. I'm very familiar with support groups like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and TLC Direct, that provide cancer wigs, hats, and chemo scarves for patients undergoing therapy. Presenting things like these to patients shows that we care and gives them many of the things they need to remain positive and focused on their treatment. If I were fortunate enough to join this amazing team, I look forward to learning more of the resources and programs available to patients."
