How Do You Champion the Patient Navigator Role?

How Do You Champion the Patient Navigator Role? Clin J Oncol Nurs. 2018 Oct 01;22(5):576 Authors: Prier AW Abstract I worked for the Louisiana Tumor Registry for years, coding pathology reports and doing my part to make a difference, but ultimately, I grew bored. I wanted to hear the stories behind the reports I entered into a database and craved interaction with patients. When the opportunity to become a patient navigator presented itself, I jumped at the chance. I sold myself as an eager and capable member of the community who knew the patients' frustrations firsthand. I guess it worked, because I was hired by the Louisiana Cancer Control Program in July 2010 as a patient navigator for patients beginning cancer treatment. PMID: 30239506 [PubMed - in process]
