Brings readers a variety of educational, emotional, compelling, and familiar stories told by oncology nurses. This rich collection contains narratives of caring and compassion, of pride and passion, and of sadness and loss. Each story is unique, written by a diverse group of individuals from coast-to-coast, with job titles ranging from staff oncology nurse to chief operating officer at a university hospital. Each story is personal. Though the authors of these narratives may be unknown, after sharing their singular reflections and musings, the reader will know them intimately. And each story is representative of the oncology nurse, their patients, and their families. Like its preceding volume, "Building a Legacy...Voices of Oncology Nurses (Jones and Bartlett, 1995), this publication captures the narrative history of oncology nursing. The book also plays an active role in supporting the education, research, and leadership efforts of the nursing profession.
