Summary To deliver individualized quality nursing care to cancer patients and families in accordance with established hospital guidelines, nursing professional practice model, nursing care standards and policies and in accordance with ANA code of ethics and external regulatory agencies. Registered Nurses embody the vision, mission, and philosophy of Moffitt Nursing and are committed to and accountable for personalized patient and family centered care and the concepts of Duffy's quality caring model/caring factors.

These frameworks of care include collaboration and mutual problem solving, dignity and human respect, encouraging manner, attentive reassurance, appreciation of unique meaning, healing environment, basic human needs, information sharing, caring for self, and affiliation needs. (see attached)Registered Nurses use the nursing process to effectively plan and manage quality patient care.

The Professional Practice Model graphic and Duffy's caring factors are attached. At Moffitt Cancer Center, we recognize the importance of a smooth transition from nursing student to practicing clinician. Our goal for our newly licensed registered nurses is to provide an environment that prepares them to function safely, accurately, and compassionately.

To facilitate the transition and to promote adoption of oncology as a specialty practice, we have developed an Ambulatory Care Oncology Nurse Residency Program .

Our program is designed to equip novice nurses to

Develop ability in clinical decision-making. Expand capacity for critical thinking. Develop clinical autonomy in patient care.

Incorporate research-based evidence into practice, and Strengthen commitment to oncology nursing through promotion of professional growth and job satisfaction. Newly licensed BSN nurses complete a 12-week clinical orientation rotating through 3 ambulatory areas. While in each clinical area, nurse residents are assigned to work with a preceptor.

Upon completion of the 12-week rotation and based on openings and best fit for both the nurse resident and clinical area, the nurse resident is matched to an area. For the first twelve months of practice, nurse residents will participate in programs outside of their unit for one or two days each month. In addition to time in the classroom and simulation, nurse residents will meet with their residency group monthly to reflect on collective experiences and challenges.

This reflective practice leads to developmental insight and assists in closing the gap between theory and practice. Prior to finishing the residency, nurses will be assigned a mentor, who will provide ongoing support and guidance. Graduates of our program will be prepared to apply for advancement through our Clinical Ladder.

The focus of these programs will vary but will include both clinical and professional topics such as the examples listed below.

Professional Topics

Prioritization and Time Management, Conflict Resolution, Stress Reduction & Self-Care, Evidence Based Practice, Communication, Professional Development
