Making the decision to become a nurse is a big decision and one that can lead to a very rewarding career. Quite often when an individual is deciding to take training to become a nurse they don’t at first contemplate whether they want to go into a speciality like oncology nursing.
When one does come to the decision that they want to be a part of cancer 
medicine the first thing they need to consider is what are the basics. Knowing what the expectations are will be clear indicators if this is the right field of medicine for them.
The extra time and money that has to be spent on the education that is needed for becoming a cancer nurse also has to be well thought out.
If after these two considerations are still leading one into the field of oncology then a third and very important consideration has to be tackled. That is the emotional stamina that is required in this nursing field. Not only is it a busy category of nursing it is one that demands a great deal of compassion which can be emotionally drainging and sometimes had to cope with.
