The Oncology Nursing Foundation allows you to give directly to nurses who specialize in cancer care and are dedicated to improving their patients’ outcomes. Our needs reflect the needs of today’s oncology nurses and help them address the complexities of cancer care.
- According to the Institute of Medicine’s Future of Nursing report, better educated nurses are linked to less medical errors. Unfortunately, the cost of education deters many who have the commitment, but not the means, to fulfill their career aspirations.
- Nursing research contributes to evidence-based practice, which results in the best possible care for the patient. Unfortunately, research funds, especially to support new insights into direct patient service, grow increasingly scarce.
- Nurse leadership is needed everywhere from the hospital boardroom to the college classroom to the clinic floor. Yet many potential nurse leaders do not have the financial resources to fulfill this growing need by themselves.
