Oncology Nursing

Oncology Nursing

Oncology nursing is a specialized discipline dedicated to the holistic care of individuals diagnosed with cancer. These nurses are integral to the cancer care continuum, from early diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. They assess patients’ physical and emotional needs, providing education on treatment options and potential side effects. Oncology nurses administer therapies such as chemotherapy and manage symptoms like pain and fatigue, ensuring patient comfort and quality of life. They also serve as advocates, guiding patients and their families through complex healthcare decisions. With a focus on compassionate care, oncology nurses play a vital role in supporting patients on their cancer journey.
