internal organs (American society of Clinical Oncology, 2012).Bones connect to bones with ligaments and are covered and protected by cartilage (American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2012).Cancer of the bone is rare but is caused by normal bone marrow and tissues inside the bone that change and form tumors(American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2012). The tumor happens in the bone and is benign it does not spread (American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2012). The benign tumor can press against surrounding

illness itself, but to help in relieving the suffering of those affected taking into account their body, mind, and spirit.1 Palliative care is still a relatively new field of care in pediatrics, especially in pediatric oncology. Palliative care was originally used in pediatric oncology as strictly end-of-life care, but this form of care is starting to move into the realm of supportive care for these individuals.2,6-8 This is where I plan to focus my study. I am interested to see if the time of implementation

Patients and families navigate to a “new normal”. Current transitioning from oncology care to primary care leaves a gap in continuity of care. Patients must adapt to a change in the health care regimen. Patients and their families may feel anxiety, returning to primary care, or patients and their families may have psychological distress as vigilance becomes more ominous in primary care. Cancer survivors transitioning from oncology care to primary care at a rural Minnesota health care facility may not receive

cancer. Those who are diagnosed are dependent on oncologists. The need for oncologists is higher than ever and is continuing to increase each year. This paper will explain what oncology is, what several of the different types of oncologists, and the education requirements to become a certified oncologist. Oncology is simply the study of cancer. Once an individual is diagnosed with cancer, they then have to acquire an oncologist or “a specialist doctor trained in the management of cancers” (Srivastava)

action. Oncology nurses find themselves struggling with moral distress in an oncology unit, which is where cancer patients are cared for and educated by the nurse. An oncology nurse suffers moral distress when they know the right course of action, but feel powerless to act out the choice because of the institution or its policies, lack of resources, lack of support, or legal limits. Oncology nurses provide care over an extended period of time and often administer aggressive treatments. Oncology nurses

another we would not lose sight of why we were helping others.1.I knew then that I wanted to be in a career field that focused on helping people. One of the professions that I am drawn to is Pediatric Oncology. As a Pediatric Oncologist I would be treating cancer in children. 3;15 Pediatric Oncology is at the heart of many organizations. There are many financial and emotional burdens associated with a loved one having cancer, and thanks to these foundations, parents and children can sleep a little

A great number of oncology clinics are currently experiencing an inadequate number of nursing staff. Within the last year, my career has taken me out of the clinical setting. However, reflecting on my time at Tennessee Oncology, nursing shortages gave reason for great concern. Due to a high turnover rate, Tennessee Oncology always seemed to be hiring. A variety of factors contribute to these staffing issues, such as, an influx of patients, unpleasant working conditions, declining quality of care

Communication, in healthcare, is a multidimensional concept that involves patients, family members, and a health care team. There is a direct correlation with communication, improving a patient's well being, and quality of care. Adequate communication among physicians and their patients is an actively growing research topic. Results supplied by such studies have provided effective recommendations for oncologists and their team. These recommendations include the patient-physician relationship

When someone is diagnosed with cancer it starts a journey down a road that no one wants to travel on. In recent years, there have been countless trials and tests to

Chen and his colleagues conducted a study on how music intervention or therapy lessens pre-radiotherapy anxiety in oncology patients through a fifteen-minute procedure. The purpose of the research was to examine the impact of music therapy and intervention on lessening pre-radiotherapy anxiety in these patients. The researchers carried out their study because of the tendency by oncology patients to react to radiation treatment with anxiety that is expressed in different forms such as frustration,
