Despite the important role of nurses in a pediatric oncology team. the marginalization of nursing is common. especially in developing countries. At the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) in Jordan, the position of the clinical nurse coordinator (CNC) was created in the pediatric neuro-oncology and ocular oncology services to empower the role Of nursing. Our advanced nursing practice is based oil the domains of the Strong Model of Advanced Practice, which are direct patient care, support of systems, education, research and publications, and professional leadership. There is strong involvement of the CNC in clinical care. patient education, follow-up and interdisciplinary collaboration, which has resulted in improved survival. reduced morbidity. and increased Compliance Of patients and also their successful reintegration into society. The coordination of twinning initiatives and telemedicine activities has helped ensure the quality of treatment and supported research initiatives ill the services. Such a positive impact has led to a significant increase in the recruitment of CNCs at KHCC. We Propose that the role of nursing lie strengthened in developing countries to improve the level of care provided to patients and their families.
