The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators: Tackling the Topics That Matter Most

Dear Navigators, Social Workers, Administrators, and Clinical Staff,

Oncology navigation encompasses countless topics in the world of oncology. The questions above are all addressed in this issue—but they represent just the very tip of an ever-growing iceberg. The Editorial Board of the Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship (JONS) and the Leadership Council of the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) understand that your job as a navigator is multifaceted, complex, and increasingly important. To address all the topics relevant to oncology nurse and patient navigators, the leaders of JONS and AONN+ incorporate dynamic presentations by key thought leaders on the topics impacting your job, your role, and your well-being.

In these pages, on our website, and at our conferences, you’ll gain the insights and expertise that help you to maximize your impact as a navigator. And you’ll experience the support of a community that shares your goals. Together, we’ll tackle the topics that matter most to you and our growing community.

Next on the agenda? The 10th Annual Navigation & Survivorship Conference! Please join the AONN+ community as we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Academy on November 6-10, 2019, in Nashville, TN. I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,

Lillie D. Shockney, RN, BS, MAS, ONN-CG
