National Conferences
CHANGE TO A UNIFYING MODEL
In past years, ONS has held our internationally regarded annual Congress
as well as a variety of smaller national conferences, including the former
Institutes of Learning, Advanced Practice Nursing Conference, Connections:
Advancing Care Through Science, and the National Conference on Cancer
Nursing Research. In order to focus resources on a singular event that
provides greater membership engagement, ONS decided in 2013 to hold one
unifying national conference through its trusted platform, the annual Congress, which will begin transitioning to its new format.
“
This change will enable ONS to focus resources
to provide a singular event that allows for greater
member engagement and value and provides a
platform to bring all oncology nurses together for
enhanced collaboration,” said ONS president Mary
Gullatte, PhD, RN, ANP, BC, AOCN®, FAAN.

By delivering content that appeals to all levels and
specialties, the conference will unite our
membership in practice, education, and
research, helping them to translate
science to patient care.
ONS.org unveiled a fresh new look in 2013. While
work continues to build the new website from the
ground up, several improvements were introduced.
• The new ONS profile account allows members to
access a brand-new control panel to manage all of
their ONS account information and demographics.
• Books can be purchased directly from the website.
• Nurses can join and renew their membership.
The ONS website is now available on any device—
desktop, laptop, tablet, or sm
