The listing advertises about $2,230 per week for this travel Oncology Med-Surg RN role. Weekly travel packages often blend taxable wages and stipends; confirm hours, overtime, housing/meals, and cancellations in the contract—no separate market survey data is in this package.

Build the skills for this role

Prioritize current RN license for the assignment state, BLS/ACLS as required by the facility, med-surg fundamentals, oncology safety awareness (chemo precautions, neutropenia, pain/nausea management), IV skills, and EHR fluency. No cert catalog or costs were provided in CERTS.

Be ready to discuss oncology/med-surg cases, isolation and infection control, escalation for decompensation, and how you orient fast as a traveler. Ask about unit census, ratios, chemo handling scope, float expectations, and housing/pay breakdown with AHS Staffing.

Best fit for licensed RNs comfortable with adult med-surg/oncology acuity who want a paid travel assignment in Lewiston rather than remote work. Less ideal if you need permanent benefits stability or lack recent acute inpatient experience.
