Any good reference Oncology books for Nurses?

Published

Hello all,

Just found out I will be starting in oncology. I am right now in GI/Colorectal surgery, so needless to say if it isn't colon cancer I am not too shy of clueless. I need a handy reference book, maybe a quick read, that will help me with what I need to know from patients, chemo, radiation, labs, ect. PLEASE any advice is helpful!

I don't know of a "quick read" to suggest, but the Core Curriculum from ONS will give you everything you need to know. You can purchase it from their site.

I absolutely agree with OCNRN63. That was my bible while I was studying for the OCN!
