ONS’s position is that because chemotherapy can cause some unique and even life-threatening side effects and also can pose a safety risk to those handling drugs or contaminated body fluids, all nurses caring for patients receiving chemotherapy need specialized education. See the ONS Position on the Preparation of the Professional Registered Nurse Who Administers and Cares for the Individual Receiving Chemotherapy for further explanation.
