Oncology nurse's perspective.
Oncology nurses are increasingly recognizing the importance of chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in the lives of their patients and are contributing to the state of the knowledge in this field of study. The Oncology Nursing Society has included treatment related changes in cognitive function as a priority in the 2009-2013 "Oncology Nursing Society Research Agenda and Priorities". Related educational programming has been included at national nursing symposia. A brief review of some research conducted by oncology nurses is described.
