STAND UP TO CANCER published a series of Certification for Nursing Education training modules, with the Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing, focused on immunotherapy.
The first web-based CNE modules will be available in July. In its first round, the program will seek to train 25 nurses working in immunotherapy. The program was announced as part of National Nurses Week, May 6-12.
The program will address providing care for cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, including education on immunology and related pathophysiology, symptom management, and nursing interventions to reduce symptom distress and promote wellness. The modules will meet CNE standards and each module will provide 3.5 to 5 contact hours from the Boston College William F. Connell School of Nursing.
