News from the Nursing Committee
The fall meeting
With the change in economy, we are increasingly being asked to do more with less. This is a problem at all investigative sites, and budgets are very tight.
This fall's Nursing Committee session will focus on these issues and on how to stay afloat in changing economic times. We will address clinical trials billing and the Medicare required coding, as well as budgeting and staffing issues. Siu-Fun Wong, PharmD, who chairs SWOG's Pharmaceutical Sciences Committee, will close the session with a presentation on drug accountability.
Wanted: A few good nurses
The Nursing Committee is looking for nurses interested in leadership positions. We currently have two openings on our Disease & Discipline subcommittee. You would oversee the subcommittee's work, assuring that it is aligned with and contributes to SWOG's mission. The subcommittee reviews protocols and provides nursing input during protocol development, and creates fast fact sheets for trials. It also focuses on cancer control and quality of life. If you are interested, you should have support from your institution to attend at least one Group Meeting a year.
The Nursing Committee welcomes fresh ideas, so consider sharing your time and talent with other SWOG members. Together we can make a difference. For more information, contact Rose Ermete, RN, BSN, at ermeter@trinity-health.org or Marge Good, RN, MPH, at Marge_Good@via-christi.org.
