SPOTLIGHT: ONCOLOGY EDUCATION DAYS

Overview

With the large numbers of new hires and novice nurses in the Oncology and Blood and Marrow Transplant Units, these oncology education sessions were created. The audience includes nurses, new to oncology, with up to 18 months of experience.

Planning occurred over six months in collaboration with Clinical Nurse Specialists, Clinical Nurse Experts, Oncology Attendings, Nurse Practitioners, and Speech Therapy from multiple departments including Oncology, Radiation, Rehab and Surgery. Learners completed a pre-test prior to each session, and then completed a post-test after each session to measure the learning that occurred. Evaluations and test data are still being analyzed.
