CURE Magazine Teams Up With Amgen Oncology and Breakaway from Cancer® to Launch 2011 Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing

February 7, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

DALLAS and THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ —
For the fifth consecutive year, CURE magazine is calling on
cancer patients, survivors and caregivers from across the country
to submit essays for the 2011 Extraordinary
Healer Award for Oncology Nursing. The contest, made possible
with financial support from Amgen Oncology and Breakaway from Cancer,
invites patients and their families to submit a 400-1000 word essay
describing the compassion, expertise and helpfulness a special
oncology nurse exhibited toward them during their cancer journey.
Submissions can be made online at www.curetoday.com/healeraward
or by mail and will be accepted through 11:59 p.m. CT on March 21,
2011.

“A diagnosis of cancer brings a variety of unwelcome struggles
and emotional pitfalls, but throughout a patient’s cancer journey,
oncology nurses are consistently on the front lines doing a job
that all too often goes unacknowledged,” says
Susan McClure, cancer survivor and publisher of CURE.
“This is our chance to give readers an opportunity to speak up and
say ‘thank you’ to each of their nurses who have gone above and
beyond to become truly extraordinary healers.”

Once the contest closes on March 21, a team of judges comprised
of the CURE staff will select the top three essays. The
three nurse finalists and their essayists (plus one guest each)
will receive round-trip airfare and two-night accommodations in
Boston, where they will be honored at a reception held in
conjunction with the Oncology
Nursing Society’s 36th Annual Congress on April 28, 2011.
