About The Position

Manage day-to-day specialty care for a defined panel of hematology and oncology patients, ensuring treatment plans are documented, therapies proceed safely and on schedule, toxicities are addressed early, and patients and families understand what to expect and when to seek help. Work with the attending physician to select, order, and adjust systemic therapy and supportive care based on disease status, goals of care, and current evidence. Coordinate with pharmacy, infusion nursing, navigation, and social work to address clinical and access barriers. Support survivorship, palliative care, and hospice transitions with documented goals, symptom burden, and clear handoffs.

The practice includes collaboration with hematologists/oncologists, infusion nurses, pharmacists, and navigators, with tumor board and specialty referral pathways available for complex cases. Standard resources include the EHR, chemotherapy order sets, toxicity protocols, and clinical decision support. The position reports to the physician lead or medical director and has prescribing and management authority within collaborative practice and state scope. The role emphasizes specialty practice, physician partnership, cycle integrity, and clinical outcomes such as timely care, reduced toxicity, and patient understanding.

Requirements

• Active nurse practitioner license and national certification appropriate to the patient population.
• Prescriptive authority in the practice state.
• At least two years of hematology/oncology or acute adult oncology experience managing systemic therapy; observation-only experience does not meet this requirement.
• Demonstrated competency in chemotherapy or immunotherapy ordering or administration oversight.
• Demonstrated ability to manage neutropenic fever, cytopenias, and treatment-related toxicity.
• Ability to independently complete new-patient assessments, staging reviews, and treatment-change visits.
• Working command of oncology guidelines, staging, and goals-of-care conversations with patients and families.
• Eligibility for required collaborative agreements, DEA registration, and institutional credentialing.

Responsibilities

• Manage a defined panel of hematology and oncology patients, documenting plans for new, treatment-change, and acute visits before therapy proceeds.
• Select, order, and adjust systemic therapy and supportive care in collaboration with the attending physician.
• Recognize and treat cytopenias, infection risk, infusion reactions, and other treatment toxicities early to prevent avoidable admissions.
• Keep treatment cycles on schedule by closing gaps in labs, imaging, pathology, prior authorization, and infusion readiness.
• Educate patients and families and confirm consent, adherence, symptom reporting, and red-flag instructions before each treatment cycle.
• Coordinate with pharmacy, infusion nursing, navigation, and social work to remove clinical and access barriers to care.
• Advance survivorship, palliative, and hospice transitions with documented goals, symptom burden, and clear handoffs.
• Complete new-patient assessments, staging reviews, and treatment-change visits.
