The Oncology Nursing Society appointed Brenda Marion Nevidjon, RN, MSN, FAAN, to serve as its CEO.

The appointment took effect Sept. 1.

“We are excited to welcome Brenda as the new [society’s] CEO,” Margaret Barton-Burke, PhD, RN, FAAN, president of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), said in a press release. “Her distinguished career and leadership skill set will position ONS for the future within a complex and changing health care system, while achieving the ONS mission to promote excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care.”

Nevidjon — a past president of ONS — is a professor at the Duke University School of Nursing and coordinator of the systems division, which includes the nursing informatics, nursing education, and nursing and health care leadership graduate majors. She was the first woman to serve as chief operating officer of Duke University Hospital, and she served a term on the IOM’s National Cancer Policy Forum Board.

“I am honored to be selected as the ONS CEO,” Nevidjon said in the press release. “I look forward to working with the board, staff, members, and the larger cancer care community as we transform the provision of cancer care in a changing health care environment.”
