Data Synthesis:
An undergraduate oncology nursing course was designed and successfully conducted that included clinical experience in the inpatient, outpatient, and home environments with experience in dealing with as many aspects of patient care as possible.
Conclusions:
An oncology nursing course taught by expert practitioners and mentors can and should be offered annually to undergraduate nursing students.
