Abstract

Nurse practitioners (NPs) have been suggested as one possible solution to the predicted oncologist shortage. Although NPs are in a unique position to positively affect the care of patients with hematologic malignancies who are hospitalized, little information exists regarding the inpatient role of the NP in hematology and oncology. The purpose of this article is to describe the successful implementation and evolution of a highly functioning inpatient malignant hematology NP service.

Keywords: advanced practice nurse; inpatient nurse practitioner; nurse practitioner service; quality care.
