Details:This 2-day class is the ONS Cancer Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Course based on the Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS) widely accepted Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Guidelines and Recommendations for Practice. It provides nurses in adult and pediatric settings with a comprehensive overview of chemotherapy. The program focuses on the theoretical knowledge base needed to administer cytotoxic and biotherapeutic agents, including cellular kinetics, drug classifications, safe handling, administration, management of side effects and patient teaching strategies. Case studies relating to the theoretical principles will be presented. Participants will receive a copy of the ONS text: Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Guidelines and Recommendations for Practice. After successfully completing the course and a post-test, participants will receive a personalized ONS Chemotherapy and Biotherapy Provider Card and 13.5 contact hours of continuing education credit.
