Nurses Uniting for Resilience, Training, and Emotional Support in Cancer Care
About the project – a supportive community
NURTURE is designed to empower and uplift our dedicated nursing community as they navigate the challenging landscape of cancer care.
The project aims to enhance the resilience of European cancer nurses. The emotional well-being of nurses is a top priority for NURTURE, recognising that their strength is drawn from a supportive community. The project will foster an environment of emotional support, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by those on the frontline of cancer care.
Addressing the long-term objectives of NURTURE, project lead and EONS Board member Nikolina Dodlek said: “NURTURE represents a collaborative effort, highlighting the importance of unity and shared knowledge among nursing professionals. As we embark on this journey, nurture and support becomes integral. NURTURE thrives on inclusiveness, equity and involvement, and community contributions will help extend the reach of this initiative to more cancer nurses in need.
“NURTURE will strive to create a supportive ecosystem for cancer nurses, patients facing one of life’s most challenging journeys. Bringing resilience, training, and emotional support to the forefront of cancer care in Europe and shaping a brighter future for both nurses and their patients.”
