The Flynn Fellowship in Oncology Nursing Program is intended to help stimulate career interest and foster the professional development of potential Oncology Nurses. The program is focused on the critically important field of Oncology Nursing. The Fellowship will enhance the student's core clinical education through direct observation of Oncology patient care and exposure to related patient care duties and services that typify the valuable role and important interrelationships of oncology nurses with other healthcare team members. Opportunities to attend various pertinent internal educational programs and meetings with key staff members at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital will provide additional learning experiences for the student nurse.
