Nursing

Pediatric oncology nurses work in both the inpatient unit and the busy outpatient clinic.  Our nurses go through a rigorous orientation process and are specially trained to care for patients undergoing intensive therapies, including bone marrow transplantation, for all types of pediatric cancers.  As a result, our nurses are able to serve and meet the ever-changing needs of patients and families as they travel through the many phases of treatment.
