Senior Registered Nurse

About the Role

Based at the Moody Outpatient Center, this Registered Nurse position is a vital component of Parkland's oncology services. The role focuses on coordinating comprehensive patient care for individuals facing specific health conditions, utilizing the Parkland nursing professional practice model to ensure seamless transitions through the healthcare encounter.

You will serve as a patient advocate, championing patient rights, confidentiality, and cultural preferences while fostering positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders. This position is designed for a nurse who thrives in a collaborative environment, acting as a resource for both patients and the broader healthcare team. Day-to-day, you will manage the continuum of care—from diagnosis and treatment to surveillance and end-of-life support—ensuring that every interaction reflects patient-centered and patient-valued care.

As a key member of the oncology team, you will provide specialized education to patients and families regarding cancer therapies, treatment side effects, and prevention strategies. You will also play a leadership role by serving as a preceptor for new staff, rotating as a Charge Nurse, and leading in-service educational programs to keep the unit abreast of the latest advancements in nursing practice and clinical trials.
