Many studies have proven the fact that high-quality care and positive workplaces are promoted by favorable oncology nurse and oncologist relationships in the cancer care setting. It takes a true team effort to provide care, develop care plans, and ensure that oncology patients are treated as best as possible. Your interviewer will be looking to get some insight into how you tend to work and collaborate with physicians and they do so by asking you to talk about these relationships you've held in the past. No matter what prior physician relationships you've held in the past, focus on your ability to communicate clearly, take direction, and work cohesively to provide top-quality care for your patients.

"I've had the wonderful opportunity over the first six years of my nursing career to work closely with hospitalists, intensivists, primary care physicians, and other specialists. The nurse-doctor working relationship is important in all settings and starts with open and clear communication. If you were to contact either of the physicians I have listed as references, they wouldn't hesitate to let you know that I'm always updating them on patient needs and health status updates in a timely manner. They'll also comment on my willingness to speak up when I feel it is necessary and that I do this in a professional and respectful manner. I get the feeling from the team here today that your oncologists run a tight ship and I'm confident that my time at the helm in patient care will steer things in the right direction for our working relationship together."
