Nurses in Oncology on Vaccination, AMR and Infection Controle

“Why nurses are paramount in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and vaccination for cancer patients” Patrick Crombez, Vice President Antimicrobial resistance will soon threaten the routine treatment of common infections across the world and have an ever-greater impact on morbidity and mortality in vulnerable patients like cancer patients. These patients often are neutropenic and immunocompromising effects of the underlying disease as well as of antineoplastic therapies, especially with the emerging new treatment options as immunotherapy, must be considered by cancer nurses as high risk factors for developing resistant infectious complications.  Vaccination is one of the strategies needed to counter this threat and can be an effective preventive strategy against many infections, but type and timing of vaccinations must be carefully chosen to allow for optimal immunization in immunocompromised patients. Certain therapeutic interventions result in profound immunol...

Facebook and Nurses Code of Ethics

Image
Information on health and all related to personal health and vulnerability is high sensitive, on sickness, therapy, profession and so on this is a fundament everyone understands. And for that reason -to emphasis on that- Nurses have signed by their graduation a code of coduct and ethics before getting their diploma and certificates. All Nurses codes on ethics in the world are inspired and/or partly copied from the ICN Code of Ethics.

ESNO representing this 'One Nurse'

"How many nurses does ESNO represent", this a far too often question addressed in the European bubble, in the parliament, European Institutes, NGO's and industry, but to nurses in this European enenvironment like   ' ....asking a fish to prove the wetness of water... '. It is such an obvious question but somehow difficult to answer, but we do our best. The basics on a response shows how difficult it is to speak in exact numbers ESNO represents,  like it is for more of ESNO members. One of the members have about 40.000 or even double, and others have also in the same number but we cannot count them. Too often we receive the question '....how many nurses do you represent.... ' but this is a quotative question. Repeatedly we have to explain that roughly there are about 3.000.000 nurses in Europe, and all are in somehow a specialist area, in specialist areas and some in advanced levels, and the last group we have ESNO as lead. Nurses have also a kind of fi...
