Nurse Practitioners

The nurse practitioner (N.P.) is a licensed registered nurse (R.N.) with a master's degree in nursing who is highly trained and skilled to assess, diagnose, and prescribe care, medication and treatment. They are also experts in symptom management. An oncology nurse practitioner specializes in caring for patients with cancer and hematologic disorders.

Nurse Practitioners monitor your condition and collaborate with your oncologist on treatment decisions. They can help answer your questions regarding your disease, treatment, lab results and X-rays and prescribe medications when indicated. You may see the nurse practitioner for your routine, prechemotherapy visit and stable follow-up visits. They are also available to see you for an office appointment or speak with you by phone if you have an urgent problem or concern.
