SIG Membership Application

The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) is a national organization of almost 33,000 registered nurses and other healthcare professionals dedicated to excellence in patient care, teaching, research and education in the field of oncology. A prime goal of ONS is to provide a network of peer support and exchange for oncology nurses. To do so, ONS introduced a formal structure of Special Interest Groups (SIG) to facilitate networking of ONS members in an identified subspecialty area. The Neuro-Oncology SIG was established October 6, 2002.

Neuro-Oncology SIG Mission Statement

The mission of the Neuro-Oncology SIG is to provide networking and educational opportunities to neuro-oncology nurses and raise awareness of the impact of CNS tumors amongst the oncology nursing community.

Goals

• Since this SIG has just recently been approved, they are currently working on establishing goals and activities for the group.

Benefits/Communication

The newsletter features messages from SIG leaders, timely articles on topics of interest to Neuro-Oncology SIG members, news briefs, and reports on SIG projects.
