  • AYA knowledge

    Great podcast with excellent examples. As an adult medical infusion nurse I have younger patients who have several of these concerns. Excellent podcast.

  • Episode 273 Storytelling

    I absolutely loved this episode. Each speaker had a different view on their experience as an oncology nurse, and everyone validated for me why I continue to love the oncology nursing profession and the Oncology Nursing Society. We are all able to grow from one another’s perspectives and this has inspired me to blog my 39 years in nursing, most of which were in hematology/oncology. Thank you so much for the inspiration and thanks to Susie who posted the podcast on LinkedIn.

  • Good info, can’t get CE credit

    The link for the CE eval only takes me to ONS.org general website. This is frustrating. How do I get to the eval part to obtain my ce? Otherwise good info. Not sure I’ll waste a lot of time here if I can’t get credit for it though.

Q: What are some of the preventative or management strategies, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic, that can help with acute side effects?
