May Is Oncology Nursing Month

As an oncology nurse, you are a source of strength for your patients and their loved ones. Your expertise and compassion provide hope and comfort for those facing the unimaginable. 

That is why we celebrate you, the oncology nurse, this May and every month after. 

The 2023 Oncology Nursing Month theme is Making a Difference Every Single Day.

Volunteer With ONS

Honor an Oncology Nurse

Do you know a nurse who has made a real difference in oncology nursing in your local area? Consider nominating them for one of many ONS awards, which honor ONS members who display a special commitment to their field. Most awards include a plaque, cash award, and reimbursement to attend the annual ONS Congress®. 

You can also honor a nurse by donating to the Oncology Nursing Foundation in their name.
