For all those ONS members out there, I am wondering if you are feeling as frustrated as I am. The cost of everything is getting out of hand! The membership fee alone is quite steep. However, the online courses, such as the central line and genetics courses, are ridiculously expensive! I also attended Congress this year, and spent almost $100 more for registration than last year. I found the topics to be not quite as good as usual, and the speakers to be a tad subpar. There were probably 4 or 5 topics on sexuality (which I think we have been saturated with, and 1 would have been enough). I found it difficult to find topics to interest me, as an experienced onc nurse. I don't know...anyone else feeling the same? Until this past year, I had been extremely satisfied with the organization.
