Corticosteroids are being used in patients receiving cancer treatment for a growing number of indications including immunosuppressive cancer treatments as well as for managing immune-related adverse events.

The Developing a Culture of Quality course provides you with a quality improvement educational program addressing resources and tools that may be used to improve the quality and safety of the patient care delivered in their practice setting.

Checkpoint inhibitors are being used for a growing number of oncologic indications. As we learn more about these agents, we learn more about their associated adverse events. Endocrine and rheumatologic adverse events are well documented, and clinicians need to be well-versed in their assessment, diagnosis, and management.

Oncology nurses must be knowledgeable about the different types of technologies/tests including when and how they are used so they can navigate patients and families through the maze of precision oncology.

Explore the principles of life expectancy, population statistics, primary care considerations, assessment and management strategies in this recorded webinar.

This course is part of a series of interactive case studies that will guide you through four scenarios of patients receiving immuno-oncology agents.

The ONS Get Up, Get Moving campaign is on a mission to increase the number of patients who receive a recommendation to exercise from their nurses, and this course is designed to provide the information and resources you need to feel confident in discussing physical activity in your clinical practice.

Nurses play a vital role in making the oncology work environment a safe one. Going beyond the actions of an individual, truly effective workplaces cultivate a culture where safety is held as the number one priority.

When patients become malnourished, they are less likely to receive their full oncology treatment and may require treatment breaks, treatment holds or dose reductions, which may reduce the efficacy of their treatment.
