Oncology Nursing and Care

Oncology nursing care can be defined as meeting the various needs of oncology patients during the time of their disease including appropriate screenings and other preventive practices, symptom management, care to retain as much normal functioning as possible, and supportive measures upon end of life. Oncology nurses take care of cancer patients and potential cancer patients in various clinical settings. You'll work with physicians and other medical professionals to provide patients with what they need for cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, symptom management, and palliative care.
