- Abstract
The article reports that Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) invited Hilda Vorliková, an oncology nurse, from Czech Republic to share her experiences. Vorliková, is the director of nursing at the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute. This is the only fully specialized comprehensive cancer institute in the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic, a country with 10 million inhabitants, approximately 60,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed and 28,000 cancer-related deaths are reported each year. Hlilda noted some similarities and many differences in nursing practice between the two countries. She was also amazed by the amount of books available for nurses.
