	ACS :: Shortage of Oncology-trained Nurses Shifts Burdens to Patients
		America?s registered nurse shortage could mean cancer patients aren?t being cared for by nurses with oncology experience.
		Nationwide, some 20,000 nurses have been certified by the Oncology Nursing Society, meaning they have advanced training in cancer care, and in some cases, a master's degree.
		Satryan also suggests that patients get a sense of whether their nurse "is giving them as much attention as they need." The ratio of nurses-to-patients varies based on the nurse''s duties and where they are working, but if a patient asked, a nurse would probably say whether he or she is over-worked, says Satryan.
