Who's Who in my Treatment Team
Treatment Team
Nurses
Staff Nurse
A staff nurse is a registered nurse who provides the care you require both while you are in the hospital and as an outpatient in the Clinic. The nurse may draw your blood, administer chemotherapy and/or medications, teach you about your cancer and treatment, and help arrange follow-up.
Nursing Aides, Patient Care Technicians
The aides in your hospital may have one of several different titles, but they probably all do essentially the same jobs. They often check vitals: blood pressure, temperature, pulse, etc. change your linens, bring in your food trays, and take care of minor problems.
