Resource for Ancillary Staff

Program Overview

The Resource for Ancillary Staff provides a foundational overview for non-nursing healthcare professionals caring for children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer and blood disorders. The resource allows nurse educators to provide adequate training to the ancillary team members who are an integral part of patients’ and families’ care, such as certified nurse assistants, child life specialists, lab technicians, chaplains, and social workers. Standard treatment and potential side effects are presented. The lectures are presented in PowerPoint format and include four modules.
