"As you can see from my resume, I've spent time working in the hospital and outpatient clinic setting and I feel all of my experience in patient education has prepared me well for working with patients that are receiving cancer treatment. First and foremost, I take the time to get to know my patients and assess their literacy levels and their ability to learn what I am teaching them. I utilize all resources I can to provide patients with materials they need to be prepared for their care plan. I never hesitate to involve caregivers, parents, children, or other family members in education on care, because those loved ones often play an integral role in ensuring a great outcome for patients. I think that having an understanding of a patient's home life is important in their education as well, so I ask as many questions as I can to get a better understanding of this."
