ONS has many talented nurse scientists, scholars & clinicians. I’m sure we can find ways to improve the org’s research priorities to reflect structural forces impacting cancer-related health outcomes, & accountability to communities oncology nurses serve incl BIPOC & Queer folx.
And I say this with tremendous affection for an org that has been my professional home since I 1st became an oncology nurse in BMT.

I say this with much gratitude for getting to serve as your 2019 ONS Annual Congress keynote speaker.

No more deficit models.
