"My work as a nurse has always been patient-centric, including why I decided to study nursing in school and become a registered nurse. Oncology nurses get to help patients make the most of the life they have and be the positive beam of light when darkness is consuming them and I know I will thrive in this way with your patients. Building ongoing and lasting relationships with my patients is one of the greatest aspects of this job and I can imagine the relationships your team develops with patients are life-changing. About four years ago, I was truly touched by the team that worked with my mom with her lung cancer diagnosis and the subsequent treatment she received for over two years. The nurses, oncologists, and surgeons made both my mother and our entire family feel like we were a part of theirs and being a part of this would be incredible."
