Episode 257: Redefining the Bell: The Ethics of Hope for Oncology Nurses and Patients
“The bell can have so much more meaning and significance than just the end of treatment. So, work with your patients to define what the significance of that bell can mean,” ONS member Monica Cfarku, RN, MSN, BMTCN®, CCM, NE-BC, associate vice president and chief of oncology nursing at Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, NC, and member of the North Carolina Triangle ONS Chapter, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS. Cfarku discussed the ethics of the bell that patients with cancer ring following the completion of their treatment and how her institution has redefined the bell’s ritual.
