Jody Ferland I am looking for an Oncology NP program--either on line (perfect) or in the New England area. The list on ONS is very out of date. I have a BA i n Psyche, a MA in Rehabilitation Counseling, and just finished my ADN. Does anyone have recent info? Can ONS update their info? Anyone who wants to mentor? Thanks

Oncology Nursing Society Have you treated a patient you felt was too old to receive oncology treatment?

Sometimes I am worried for the older ones we treat, but really, some manage very well. They need to have the same opportunities as the rest for treatment, and as long as they know the risks involved, we should hesitate before questioning their choices. (Though I am guilty of doing so.)
Everyone has a different goal, a reason to live, even our eighty-year-olds.

Old age is not a disease. Each patient needs to be evaluated as an individual.

Oncology Nursing Society Researchers have created a cancer monitoring prototype that is small enough to fit into the core of a biopsy needle and can be left at the site to monitor treatment to continuously provide information about the in situ environment.

My thinking is that if the chemo (or IV med) is diluted in NS then flush with NS, and if it is diluted in D5W then flush with D5W

yes our pharmacist actually primes the tubing with nss first then we flush with about 30cc nss post infusion (unless its oxaliplatin then we use d5w)
