Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) nurses will join their nursing colleagues throughout the country to present their research at the 2019 Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress, which is the society’s annual conference. ONS is a professional association of more than 39,000 members committed to promoting excellence in oncology nursing.
ONS Congress will take place from April 11-14, 2019 in Anaheim, California where there will be presentations and discussions for nurses on the newest cancer treatments and symptom management strategies. At SCCA, nurses are fundamental to the excellent care that SCCA provides to our patients. They are at the forefront of developing new models of care through evidence-based practice and patient-centered care.
Research from more than 40 SCCA nurses and supportive services staff, including SCCA nutritionists, will be presented at ONS Congress. The following is a selection of SCCA presentations:
