What attracted you to the nursing profession?
When oncology nurses are asked this question, they often talk about the chance to make a positive difference in the lives of their patients. A nurse's special brand of caring extends beyond clinical healing and often involves their patients' quality of life.
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV)—both acute
and delayed —is a major quality-of-life issue for cancer
patients. Because chemotherapy nausea can prevent them from living the
life they want and from enjoying the people in their lives.

in the lives of your patients. You make a great team.
