Do pediatric oncology nurses make about the same as pediatric oncolgist?

No: Pediatric oncology nurses earn less that a pediatric oncologist. However, the may earn more than a regular nurse.

Peds Hem/Onc $: I work at an academic peds hem/onc center, and the nurses can make very close to what i make, factoring in overtime and taking in some extra shifts.

No: Pediatric oncologists are doctors (4 years of medical school after college) with training in pediatrics (3 year residency after medical school) and pediatric hematology/oncology (3 year fellowship after residency). Pediatric oncology nurses usually have 4 years of college (some 2 years, some master degrees with 6 years). Not surprisingly, the doctor makes more than the nurse.
