title: Incorporating midmanagement skills in an oncology CNS program.
abstract: Today's health care system requires that CNSs be prepared to manage care within complex organizations as well as deliver expert care to individuals and their families. The integration of midmanagement preparation with clinical knowledge and skills is critical. In this paper, we (1) review the literature pertaining to the role of oncology CNS and management preparation, (2) describe the program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and (3) identify the management content that was added to strengthen the theoretical and clinical components of the program and to prepare our graduates in assuming leadership positions.
