Oncology Nursing
Oncology nursing is a specialized field of nursing focused on caring for patients with cancer. Oncology nurses play a crucial role in the treatment process, providing support, education, and care to patients undergoing various therapies, such as chemotherapy and radiation. They monitor patients' health, manage symptoms, and help them navigate the emotional challenges of a cancer diagnosis.
In addition to direct patient care, oncology nurses collaborate with a team of healthcare professionals, including oncologists, radiation therapists, and social workers. They advocate for patients' needs, ensuring they receive comprehensive care throughout their treatment journey. Their expertise is vital in improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
