New Grad & New Oncology Nurse!

[flygirls2]

Just looking for any advice you can give me regarding the oncology aspect of nursing. Any tips you have learned, tricks to pass on.. Advice?? Thank you all!

[Testa Rosa, RN]

I am just reading up on oncology sections of my old text books before I sell the back to the school. I am also doing online research on common side effects of chemo regimes and how to best treat them.

A nursing school friend gave me the book "Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between." It is written by a new grad RN oncology nurse and while I've only read the first couple of chapters I really like it so far. It doesn't speak to helping one understand the different types of cancer so much as helping me understand the heart of what I may experience as a new oncology nurse.

Please post of anyone can recommend some good resources.
