Usually: Most dedicated oncology units require oncology-specific certification. Pediatric oncology units at major centers typically also require specialized certification.

No: If u want to work as a nurse with pediatric oncology patients, there are many different avenues through which you can provide care and work without having to become a certified oncology nurse. Of course the larger your market and the larger the cancer center or hospital that you would want to work in would increase the chances of having a well fit position for you.
