[The nurse manager in oncology].
Several nursing studies have described the important role of the oncology nurse manager in managing nursing staff. A 1987 study by Vachon, outlined stressors identified by 581 health professionals working in oncology units. It identified the fact that nursing personnel face a workplace filled with pain and suffering on a daily basis. The study concluded that the oncology nurse manager is the key individual to encourage a climate of sharing and support among nursing staff. Oncology nurse managers are role models and mentors who transmit to their staff the desire for a caring and holistic approach to excellence in patient care. Professional, educational and personal responsibilities rest with them. They must maintain a dynamic presence with all members of the health care team. Their knowledge of the most current medical breakthroughs, as well as strong leadership qualities, inspire nursing staff to strive for high standards of care.
