Developing an abstract for presentation at a professional meeting is an important means for pediatric hematology/oncology nurses to disseminate results of research and scholarly projects. Although the process for developing a successful abstract may be viewed as challenging, attention to directions for composing the abstract as well as seeking mentorship can result in a submission that is accepted for presentation.
