Chapter 14: Building the Advanced Practice Nurse Program
Wai-Kwan Alfred Yung MD and Tacey A. Rosolowski PhD
In this chapter, Dr. Yung talks about the expansion of the Advanced Practice Nurse program once he became department chair. He first notes how important support staff are to extending clinical care and then explains why he elected to expand APNs in particular. Dr. Young says that most institutions do not have the rich resource of nurses that MD Anderson has: research nurses, APNs, clinic nurses, and in-patient nurses. He sketches the roles that the APN services in assisting patients' caregivers and building quality of life for patients.
