2014 ATTENDEES
“
Congress provides a forum in which
nurses can come together from all over the world and share knowledge, resources, ideas, and enthusiasm.”
2014
CONGRESS More than 3,000 oncology nurses and other cancer care professionals attended the ONS 39th Annual Congress in Anaheim, CA. They learned from oncology nursing experts while networking and sharing ideas and information with their colleagues from across the United States and around the world. A number of new elements were unveiled, including a new look and feel to the conference. Self-serve kiosks and more interactive areas enhanced attendees’ Congress experience. With exhibits, the ONS booth, the ONS store, the volunteer lounges, as well as educational and entertaining activities, the learning hall served as the conference hub. ONS also launched its first conference app at the 2014 Congress, which allowed attendees to build their schedule, interact with speakers, access session slides, and connect with other attendees from any computer or mobile device.

“
I was fortunate to be a recipient of Title VIII funds when I returned to graduate school in the
1970s. I was concerned about how to pay for my graduate degree while working full time to support myself. Title VIII funding support allowed me to immerse myself in my studies full
time so that I would not have to work shift-work and go to school. I was freed to concentrate
on my studies, which then led me to pursue doctoral education a few years later. The need to
adequately fund graduate nursing education remains a pressing issue especially as employerprovided tuition assistance programs become financially unsustainable.” Margaret Wilmoth PhD, MSS, RN, FAAN
