title: Improving oncology nursing content in an undergraduate program.
abstract: Through the efforts of the Professional Oncology Education Program, an increased awareness of the problems associated in dealing with the effects of cancer has occurred. The results of testing the students have been presented in the research seminars conducted at the college. Thus, faculty have been apprised of the progress of project activities. An indirect effect of the Professional Oncology Education Program has been the increase of honor students' projects related to cancer. The activities of the Professional Oncology Education Program have stimulated and educated the faculty in the vast amount of information needed by undergraduate students to give nursing care to patients with cancer.
