NURSE TOOLKIT INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the EMPOWER series Nurse Toolkit, a resource center for oncology nurses who help manage the treatment of patients with breast cancer. As pivotal members of the healthcare team, nurses require up-to-date information on available treatment options for the management of cancer. In this toolkit, you will find timely information on best practices in the management of adverse events, the mechanism of action of available treatments, and strategies for implementing shared decision-making.

BreastCancer.org has teamed up with the EMPOWER initiative to provide the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer. BreastCancer.org will support and share this web- and mobile-based app and QI poster portal with their community. As a non-profit organization, BreastCancer.org aims to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical information about breast health and breast cancer so that they are EMPOWERed to make informed decisions for their future.
