Niki Checketts
@nikichecketts
Compassionate oncology nurse with clinical and research-focused data experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a registered nurse (BSN) with hands-on pediatric oncology and transplant experience and a background in clinical data abstraction for oncology research. I combine bedside care—managing patients before, during, and after bone marrow transplant—with meticulous chart review and data extraction.
I have worked as a pediatric oncology nurse, patient care technician, and critical care technician, which developed my clinical assessment, patient calming, and technical skills. As an oncology abstractor I sorted raw patient data to capture diagnostics, treatments, and outcomes for research purposes.
Most recently I supported nursing education development remotely, researching training materials and coordinating with educational organizations and potential donors to strengthen oncology nursing capacity. I learn quickly, welcome constructive feedback, and aim to bridge clinical care with research and education.
