Team Members Needed!
he ONS Steering Council, keeping the core competencies being developed by the BMT SIG in mind, has recommended the development of a blood and marrow transplant educational initiative. This initiative is to provide oncology nurses with a comprehensive program introducing them to evidence-based care of patients undergoing blood and marrow transplantation and to provide a comprehensive set of resources for use in setting up and enhancing BMT programs.
ONS is seeking member volunteers to help develop a program to meet the needs mentioned above as well as develop a plan for outcomes measurement of the initiative. The initiative team members should include but is not limited to: BMT SIG members, APHON member, and NMDP staff member. We anticipate work beginning in April of 2008, with the program launching later this year. Volunteers will work together with an ONS Project Manager to design, research, and author the course. Travel to a team meeting at the ONS National Office in Pittsburgh will be necessary.
If you are interested in joining this Blood and Marrow Transplant Education Initiative Team, please complete a project team application, found on the ONS web site. Under special projects, please write "BMT Initiative" so we know you are applying to work on this team. The application may be submitted by e-mail, fax or mail to the address noted on the last page of the form. Applications must be submitted to ONS prior to March 31, 2008 to be considered.
