Clinical Nurses
Medical Oncology Nurses draw on their knowledge of different cancers and their experience in other areas of care to treat symptoms of the disease and side effects of treatment. The Medical Oncology nurses of Exeter Hospital are certified in the administration of chemotherapy. In addition, all eligible nurses in the Center for Cancer Care have also received specialized certification (OCN) by the Oncology Nursing Society.
The Medical Oncology Laboratory, staffed by certified medical technologists, processes lab tests on site. This allows physicians to receive patient test results in optimal time, thus expediting the chemotherapy treatment process.
