While the team considering hiring you has their own thoughts on how to onboard any new oncology nurse on their team, they also know that the onboarding plan will need to be customized based on each candidate's experience and skills they would bring to the team. Providing quality cancer care requires a unique skill set and knowledge, so make sure you put some serious thought into where you feel you will need to be brought up to speed. Some great things to mention that will be important to you coming aboard will be your desire to learn all policies, procedures, and practices of the institution and cancer center you will be joining and wanting to get up to speed quickly on daily life in the role. Make sure your interviewer walks away knowing that you are ready and willing for any training they see fit for you if you emerge as their top candidate.

"I appreciate this question as it's something I have put a lot of thought into leading up to this interview. With experience in a few different clinical settings, it would be important to me to get serious shadowing time with other senior oncology nurses on this team. I learn best by shadowing and doing things hands-on, and feel this would give me a great base for the day-in and day-out clinical tasks and procedures. I'm sure your organization has great resources in place for initial required trainings in clinical policies and employment policies and I want you to know that I would take these very seriously as part of this team in my initial weeks on the job."
