The mission of the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, an official publication of ONS, is to provide practical information necessary to care for patients and their families across the cancer continuum and to develop publication skills in oncology nurses.
One of the instrumental activities of the International Myeloma Foundation was the development of the Nurse Leadership Board (NLB), which is made up of expert oncology nurses from the leading cancer centers treating patients with myeloma in the United States. The mission of the NLB is to develop broad recommendations for nursing care for patients with myeloma. The NLB has developed patient education sheets and nursing programs to advance the care of patients with myeloma. This supplement represents their latest efforts in addressing common problems that can affect the quality of life in myeloma survivors.
