It was extremely helpful in connecting the dots on things my unit never taught me.
​
-
Information was very well presented and reinforced in creative ways. The information is very valuable to my current practice and the organization I work for.
​

Very valuable. I learned so much and will now be able to help my unit with the chemo patients. We have been short staffed on chemo trained nurses so this will make a difference!
​

This workshop was very beneficial and I am glad that I was required to take the course. My understanding of chemo/bio administration has grown so much just in the 2 short days.
​

I loved this workshop and how interactive it was. The interactive games and handouts really helped me retain everything I was learning. There are not many pediatric infusion nurses in my facility so I believe that it will be of great value for my organization to have my new expertise and skills.
​

Very helpful and informative; Stephanie did a great job of explaining things in terms that could be easily understood!
