The application of genomic insights in oncology nursing practice emerges as a focal point now that precision health has become the standard of care. The article delves into the critical intersection of genomics and oncology nursing, aiming to establish a genomic foundation while elucidating its practical application in clinical settings. The authors construct a crosswalk by examining existing global genomic nurse competencies and suggest emerging competencies to facilitate integration into oncology nursing practice. Through empirical evidence, the article highlights how genomic information empowers nurses to tailor assessments, interventions, and anticipate treatment responses, thereby optimizing patient outcomes and quality of life.
