ONS member Kristi Orbaugh, RN, MSN, RNP, AOCN®, nurse practitioner for Community Hospital Oncology Physicians in Indianapolis, IN, and member of the Central Indiana ONS Chapter, joins Stephanie Jardine, BSN, RN, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, to discuss patient education prior to and during immunotherapy. This is a continued conversation from a previous episode that discussed findings from an ONS focus group that Orbaugh facilitated in August 2021; we’ve linked that in the episode notes.
