Conferences are where oncology nurses can network, discuss key topics in their field, and hear new updates that will eventually affect their patients. At the 3rd Annual School of Oncology Nursing, we had the chance to talk about what nurses can gain from these conferences with Patricia Jakel, MN, RN, AOCN.

When nurses understand their patients' health literacy levels, as well as what kind of additional supports they need, it could lead to better drug compliance, according to one advanced practice nurse.

Mindfulness is key when it comes to preventing compassion fatigue.

“New oncology therapies offer nurses a new challenge, and we will accept this challenge.”
