Oncology Registered Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oncology registered nurse in Pennsylvania?
You must first earn an active registered nurse license through the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN. From there, most oncology positions expect at least one year of clinical nursing experience, often in medical-surgical or oncology units. The Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation's OCN credential, while not always required at entry, is a recognized standard that Pennsylvania employers consistently list as preferred for advancement.
How much do oncology registered nurses make in Pennsylvania?
Oncology registered nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire oncology registered nurses in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring oncology registered nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Allegheny Health Network, WellSpan Health, and UPMC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's dense concentration of large academic health systems and National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers creates consistent, year-round demand for oncology nursing staff across inpatient and outpatient settings.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most oncology registered nurse jobs?
Pittsburgh, Jefferson Hills, and Sayre account for the largest share of oncology registered nurse openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because it is home to major NCI-designated centers including Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center and Jefferson Health, while Pittsburgh's market is anchored by UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, and the Lehigh Valley draws volume from St. Luke's and Lehigh Valley Health Network serving a fast-growing regional population.
Are there remote oncology registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Oncology nursing is primarily a hands-on clinical role requiring direct patient contact, so fully remote positions represent only a small share of openings. About 0% of oncology registered nurse openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to be in telephonic triage, care coordination, or oncology case management rather than bedside or infusion care.
How can I get hired as a oncology registered nurse in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a new-graduate residency or nurse residency program, which UPMC, Penn Medicine, and Jefferson Health all offer in Pennsylvania for nurses who have no specialty experience. Gaining initial experience in a medical-surgical or hematology unit builds the foundational skills oncology hiring managers look for. Completing the chemotherapy administration certification through the Oncology Nursing Society and obtaining your OCN eligibility as early as possible signals commitment and gives you a concrete credential edge in a competitive applicant pool.
