At the BC Cancer Agency, nurses play an essential role in the care, treatment and education of cancer patients around the province. Using a patient-centred approach, these dedicated professionals maintain the highest standards of care and treatment. The support and information provided by Oncology Nurses extends to families and the community, who look to the BC Cancer Agency as an international leader in cancer care, treatment and research.
Registered nurses work collaboratively with other members of the health care team, supporting patients with the highest standards of care and the latest, evidence-based treatment options. As well, Oncology Nurses have the opportunity to participate in a variety of research projects and clinical trials.
