Think of a nurse navigator as your guide. He or she is a trained Sentara clinical nurse specialist who supports you through our health system. Talking together, you can learn about your condition from him or her and the options for care that are available to you.
When you're ready to move forward with your treatments, your nurse navigator can point you to the right resources - starting with testing and pre-surgery bloodwork, along with screenings if necessary. He or she will share details on getting ready for any procedures and how to best prepare yourself and your family for recovery afterwards.
If you need follow-up therapy to complete your journey back to good health, your nurse navigator can also serve as a resource to connect you with the appropriate care.
