Oncology Series: Foundations of Oncology and Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Nursing

Monday, January 1, 2024, 8:00 AM - Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59 PM


The Oncology Series is a collection of five sessions focused on enhancing the knowledge in caring for the oncology patient. It is broken into two pathways: Hematology/Oncology Nursing and Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT)/Cancer Cellular Therapy (CCT) Nursing. This first session is for both pathways and provides an evidence-based introduction to foundational concepts including caring for the psychological needs of oncology patients, building personal and team well-being at work, understanding the foundational concepts of hematological malignancies, transfusion support services, and blood and marrow transplant patient care. The target audience for this course is the experienced RN who is either new to oncology nursing or is looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in the oncology setting. By the end of this course, the learner will increase their knowledge regarding the effect implicit bias has on cancer care and the different types of hematological malignancies, common treatment plans, and how to support the oncology patient’s transfusion needs. Lastly, the learner will increase their knowledge in the care of blood and marrow transplant patients, be able to describe the rationale for treatment plans, and discuss pre-transplant eligibility, the infusion of their transplant, and the clinical outcomes

1. Describe how implicit bias can affect the care of an oncology patient and identify strategies to mitigate implicit bias.
2. Discuss nursing management of hematological malignancies and state 3 ways to apply to nursing practice.
