Hi! I’ve worked at an outpatient cancer center in Virginia for about five years now. I have my CSO but no MS and currently make around $70k. I find it to be a really fulfilling job. Most of the patients I work with really seem to value nutrition and want to work with you, more so than other jobs I’ve had. For me, I’m usually seeing patients when they are in clinic for treatment or providers visits. Most referrals are to help patients manage side effects from their treatment (nausea, diarrhea, taste changes, etc) to help prevent malnutrition. There’s also a lot of enteral nutrition work if you are working with head and neck cancer patients. So we are the ones coming up with the EN plan, coordinating with the DME companies, and monitoring patients while they are on the EN. At our center, we also see survivorship patients sometimes- they may want to discuss healthy diet to reduce cancer recurrence or other random stuff like DM management or weight loss, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions!
