Abstract
OBJECTIVES
This scoping review summarizes oncology resources for pre-licensure and graduate nursing programs in the United States.
DATA SOURCES
PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases were searched to identify resources (2008-2019) published in peer-reviewed journals. While 1,503 papers were initially identified, 49 met inclusion criteria.
CONCLUSION
Thematic analysis revealed five themes with subthemes: (1) didactic courses; (2) clinical opportunities; (3) didactic and clinical resources; (4) simulation resources; and (5) other.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE
Academic educators are charged with preparing a nursing workforce capable of providing safe and quality evidence-based care across the cancer continuum. Findings offer examples that overcome curriculum barriers.
