Compassionate oncology nurse navigator dedicated to patient care excellence.
What I'm looking for
As an Oncology Nurse Navigator at The Barrett Cancer Center, I collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to guide patients and their families through the complexities of cancer care. My role involves care coordination, identifying barriers to treatment, and promoting adherence to treatment plans. I take pride in effectively communicating with both the treatment team and patients, ensuring they are well-informed and supported throughout their journey.
With a background as an RN in various departments, including Same Day Surgery and inpatient oncology, I have developed a strong foundation in patient care. My experience includes administering medications, managing pain, and educating patients and their families. I have also taken on leadership roles, orienting new nurses and often serving as charge nurse, which has honed my skills in team collaboration and patient advocacy.
