In both Turkey and the world, breast cancer among women is the most diagnosed type of cancer. Breast care nursing in the world has evolved over the last 30 years in Australia, Canada, Europe, England, Ireland, the USA, Scandinavia and Benelux. International guidelines have required a breast care nurse to be involved in the multidisciplinary team to support patients with breast cancer. The European Expert Breast Cancer Association has stated that there is a need for at least two breast care nurses in a breast care center in the standards for the Specialist Breast Care Unit Requirements that were revised in 2013. In the UK, the Royal Nursing College was revised in 2017 in line with the guidelines of clinical practice standards. In Turkey, although the concept of breast care nursing is not settled, the opportunity for the nurses to specialize in the field of breast cancer care should be offered. Breast Care Nursing courses are organized by the Oncology Nurses Association. It is envisaged that this program to be approved by the Ministry of Health by providing the certification standards and that the dissemination in the state, university and private hospitals throughout the country will contribute to cancer care as cost-effective care.

This article will look at the theory of a Learning Organization as described by Senge and the Israeli Breast Care Nurses as an example. A description of the theory of a Learning Organization, the role of the Breast Care Nurses in Israel and the relation between the two will be described. Since 1996, the role of the Breast Care Nurse was founded in Israel. At that time, the role with its importance was very hard to be recognized by the health care team and other professionals of the multidisciplinary team for breast cancer patients. Since the role was initiated, it had been developing all over Israel through the support given by the Israel Cancer Association. As a learning organization, the Breast Care Nurses have a few goals: To learn to give patients the most updated and relevant information; to be a part and be seen as equal as the other members of the multidisciplinary team for breast cancer patients; to have knowledge which empowers them as a working group; to enable to teach students, mainly nursing students, in basic and further education and to help continually teach a new generation of nurses. This learning organization involves some formal and informal education. Although oncology nurses do much of the ideas we have described, we suggest using a strict model to help in implementing a Learning Organization. Future research can examine the outcomes of a Learning Organization on oncology nursing.
