Reanne states that she is incredibly proud of oncology nurses’ commitment to their patients, and this has not waivered, not because of COVID, not because of staffing shortages. Oncology nurses have been enduringly there for patients now and always! Reanne also wants oncology nurses to be viewed as the experts they are. They are experts both in terms of cancer care, but also in terms of compassion and care for patients, family members and loved ones.
There was so much more to our conversation and we as patient advocates look forward to hearing more from Reanne and CANO/ACIO. Thank you to Reanne and all the oncology nurses in Canada.
