Cancer patients experience a wide range of emotions and our oncology nurses are at the forefront of managing these emotions. Do you feel you can handle this aspect of the job?

"Yes, I know I will be one of the most empathetic and emotionally stable nurses you have hired on this team. Having had close family members diagnosed with cancer, I know that feelings of hopelessness, sadness, depression, and death are common and that care providers are the people who need to provide hope and support to them. Having some direct nursing experience in behavioral health has given me great working experience in helping people think about the things that are important in their lives and helping them prioritize those feelings. As an oncology nurse, remaining positive and giving patients a reason to remain positive about their treatment will always be a top priority of mine."
