I don't mean to take anything from chemo nurses, they are heroes and I couldn't do their job. But you called them the superstars of their field, which could be misleading. In terms of required skills, at most institutes the most clinically demanding nursing role is a transport specialist (because they must have certificates of BALS, PALS, and maybe NRP, and also vascular access and airway skills, plus a number of years of critical care bedside nursing) and then a Critical Care nurse (who need PALS and also have their own national certification test).

But I am very biased. I am a critical care physician who helps run a nursing education series; most of the people who come to my lectures are critical care nurses and transport nurses because they have to attend a certain number of lectures to keep their qualifications. So I'm just speaking up for my nurses, because I think they​ are amazing :) But of course there's enough love to go around for nurses in all fields. The other group I'm particularly amazed by are those who do home nursing for the child with special needs. So much work and minimal pay.
