Shea Hospital
Scottsdale, AZ
Full Time


The Nurse Practitioner (NP) works collaboratively with all clinic team members in caring for adult cancer patients, considering or enrolled in clinical research trials. The NP participates in initial H&P, treatment selection, eligibility screening, and ongoing management of patients' symptoms due to disease and/or treatment. As an investigator, the NP takes an active role in the design, implementation and evaluation of clinical trials.

The NP must be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served on his/her assigned unit. The NP must demonstrate evidence based knowledge and advanced clinical practice skills, serving as a leader in primary and acute health care. The NP must be committed to seeking and sharing knowledge that promotes quality health care and improves clinical outcomes. This is accomplished by leading and participating both in professional and lay health care reforms, conducting research, and applying findings to clinical practice.
