The countdown begins to the start of ONS Congress™ 2021! The entire Content Planning Team is excited to showcase all of the wonderful sessions that we have been planning for you. There will be a plethora of content available to support your continued growth as an oncology nursing professional.
Please be sure to check out the ONS Congress schedule in advance and plan your attendance for sessions. You do not want to miss participating in the live Q&A with the session presenters at the end of the education breakout sessions. All sessions are arranged by educational tracks which include: Advanced Practice, Clinical Practice, Leadership/Management/Education, Radiation, and Research. Power sessions are sessions offered separate of traditional track sessions that bring all oncology nurses together for a common content purpose. In addition, there are Industry-Supported sessions, as well as oral and ePoster sessions from International and Quality Improvement. Please note that additional registration for special events and Industry-Supported sessions may be required.
Are you planning to earn individualized learning needs assessment (ILNA) points for an upcoming ONCC certification renewal? Great, you have come to the perfect place! Simply select “Sessions by ILNA Category” and select the categories to see what sessions are aligned.
Once the ONS Congress platform is open, you will be able to view sessions by day and track. You can even develop your own conference itinerary through the “Build My Schedule” tool and add sessions to your personal calendar application such as iCal or Outlook.
Due to the number of sessions that are being offered, you might want to divide and conquer with fellow oncology nursing colleagues. Plan what sessions each of you will be participating in and make a plan to disseminate the information amongst your group.
Lastly, if you are unable to participate in attending all the sessions of ONS Congress that you anticipated during the live dates, you can access the recordings in the on-demand library through May 27, 2021.
We are excited to have you join us! If you are not registered yet, there’s still time to join us next week, so register today.
