I did a lot of shadowing this week. Since I am having my final project on Hematology/Oncology, Sonia, my mentor allowed me to shadow two nurses on the
HemOnc unit. I learned a lot about Hematology/Oncology. Hematology is the study of blood disease. Oncology is the study of cancer. The reason why they are put together is because
they are kind of related. Even though I had a lot of information from
the two nurses, Amy and
Tenesha, there is a lot of research I need to do myself.
Some of the things I learned are that Hematology consists of
Hemophelia, Sickle cell, Leukemia and
vWD. These are all bleeding disorders except for Sickle cell
which is a blood disease and Leukemia which is a blood cancer.
