Oncology Nurse Training

As an oncology nurse in training, you combine working and learning in a dynamic and meaningful environment. During the training, you will work in three periods of five months each on a ward with oncology patients, where you will be trained step-by-step to become a specialist nurse. Based on your wishes and previous work experience, three suitable wards will be selected for you. Experienced oncology nurses and one of our dedicated clinical instructors will support you in your learning process.

You will be involved in guiding and caring for cancer patients, both during diagnostics, treatment, and aftercare. You will learn clinical reasoning, perform specific oncological nursing procedures, and assist with treatments such as chemotherapy.
