 ESNO Common Training Framwork for Specialist nurses 

 The title Specialist Nurse in Europe has a variety of different definitions of roles, expected responsibilities, and competences. These vary nationally, regionally and even locally. Some  are formal, and some informal, with the implication that there is no professional mobility possible. One of the ESNO goals is to gain recognition for the title Specialist Nurses in the European context, not only for mobility, but also to address the quality of care in the advanced position and patient safety. About five ESNO members have competence profiles, training frameworks and education routes with even accreditation systems, but these are not unified although there are a lot of overlaps.

 Gaining a common position on the education and qualification of the Specialist Nurse in Europe requires harmonisation and the best way to do this is through an in-depth study. Before making a study, it also requires an exploration per specialism. For this reason, ESNO has developed a questionnaire for all Specialist Nurses exercising in Europe and constituencies to be held in 2019 in preparation for a study on Specialist Nurse in Europe in 2020. This survey will remain open until the end of October.

 On behalf of the ESNO board and members of the Education Committee we thank you for your willingness and cooperation.

 The estimated time to complete this questionnaire is about 10 minutes.

 Please complete this questionnaire under this LINK

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. The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses, most r ecently revised in 2012, is a guide for action based on social values and needs. The ICN Code of Ethics guides nurses in everyday choices and it supports their refusal to participate in activities that conflict with caring and healing. At the very start it mentions "The nurse holds in confidence personal information and uses judgement in sharing this information" Based on the latest revelations on Facebook, that not only information is gathered but also analysed and sold to external partners even to...

ESNO representing this 'One Nurse'

Image
"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...
