Oncology nursing

Oncology is a branch of medicine that studies and investigates tumours. Oncology medicine seeks to understand the development of cancer while also searching for the answers to the treatment and prevention of cancer. Cancer is one of the major chronic diseases facing modern Canadian society today (Mick, 2007). It is not a discriminating disease since is effects all individuals regardless of their ethnicity, age or sex. Oncology nurses are essential and vital aspect of the oncology health care professionals. They are specialized nurses who are responsible for the care of cancer patients. They educate patients in regards to cancer, as well; they are responsible for the assessment and treatment planning for patients (Purnell, Walsh, & Milone, 2004). Many nursing students I have noticed have limited knowledge on oncology nursing and the many different areas of nursing; thus, it is the responsibility of nursing school to thoroughly educate nursing students about this branch of nursing and all the other branches of nursing. I feel that students need to acquire this knowledge in their first year so that they have the chance and time to reflect on the areas of nursing they would like to enter into in the future. This is one of the major drawbacks I have observed from my nursing education.

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
