Episode 392: ONS 50th Anniversary: Stories From the Other Side of Cancer

Описание: "Working as an oncology infusion nurse, being oncology certified, attending chapter meetings, going to ONS Congress® has really taught me plenty. But being an oncology patient taught me way more. I know firsthand the fears 'you have cancer' brings. Then going through further testing, CT scans, MRIs, genetics, the whole preparation for surgery was something I never considered when I treated a breast cancer patient," ONS member Catherine Parsons, RN, OCN®, told Valerie Burger, MA, MS, RN, OCN®, CPN, member of the ONS 50th anniversary planning committee, during a conversation about her experience being an oncology nurse and cancer survivor. Burger spoke with Parsons and ONS members Margaret Hopkins, MSN, RN, OCN®, HNB-BC, and Afton Dickerson, MSN, AGACNP-BCP, CBCN®, AOCNP®, CGRA, about how cancer survivorship has shaped their careers as oncology nurses and personal lives.
