Nursing

Healthcare professionals practicing in oncology are more likely to suffer from job-related stress, anxiety, depression, and self-reported moderate-to-high burnout. The following are some recommendations on how to take care of yourself. I have learned over the years that you cannot control other people’s actions or inactions, but you can control yourself and your response to them.

As we celebrate National Nurses Month this May, I am honored to dedicate this special issue to the extraordinary oncology nurses who serve as the backbone of cancer care across the nation. Your unwavering dedication, compassionate care, and clinical expertise transform the cancer journey for countless patients and their families every day.
