ONS member Lindsay Norris, RN, BSN, oncology nurse at the University of Kansas Health System in Westwood and member of the Greater Kansas City ONS Chapter, joins Chris Pirschel, ONS staff writer, to discuss what it’s like to be on both sides of a cancer diagnosis—as a patient and provider—what she learned from her experiences as a patient with cancer, how her practice changed, and what she wishes all oncology nurses knew about the patient experience.
