Three Days of Education Designed Especially for Oncology APNs
As an advanced practice nurse, you are a leader in providing quality cancer care. You direct patient care and are responsible for educating your nursing peers in taking oncology practice to the next level. ONS recognizes the multiple roles you play and has designed its Advanced Practice Nursing Conference to meet your professional needs.

You’ll get the latest on oncology issues and trends that will help you transform cancer care—all while earning up to 15 contact hours. Plus, the information presented at the event is evidence based. That means you’ll be able to take it back and share it with your colleagues with confidence.

New to the APN Conference This Year
Building on the success of last year’s conference, we’ve added a special preconference diagnostic session, which will be of particular interest to new APNs or experienced APNs new to oncology.

We’ve also added a poster session, with abstracts focusing specifically on APN issues. Come see the advances and contributions your colleagues are making to cancer care.
