Standing Up Together

Nurses represent the heart, soul, and future of the movement to end cancer. We are the ultimate collaborators. We interact across the spectrum of healthcare professionals, and we know the patients better than anyone. As the first line in the inpatient setting and the primary contact in the outpatient world, we often are the first to identify and document patient responses and the first to realize that something is off for a patient or family member. We do all of this while our patients face some of the biggest crises of their lives.
