NURSE NAVIGATOR NETWORKING & RESOURCES

The Nurse Navigator role coordinating patient care on an interdisciplinary team continues to evolve in the healthcare environment. Nurse Navigators work in joint specific settings, as well as in the hospital or ambulatory care facilities. In addition to coordinating patient care, Nurse Navigators demonstrate expertise in clinical practice, patient education, staff education, research, data, marketing, patient management, and acting as a clinical liaison.
