As both patient advocate and educator, the ONN partners with physicians to help support the cancer patient's journey throughout the course of disease, with the ultimate goal of improving care and outcomes.

2011 was a banner year for the NCONN, as the membership has continued to grow and it held the 3rd Annual Changing the Face of Cancer Care Conference.

Young adults facing a cancer diagnosis have unique needs and barriers to care and survivorship that can present a difficult challenge to ONNs.

Increasing numbers of cancer treatment programs striving for improvements in efficiency and adherence to care look to nurses as a key element to improved patient outcomes.
