What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to advocate for patients while utilizing my clinical skills in oncology care.

I am a compassionate and bilingual Oncology RN with over 5 years of experience in outpatient hematology/oncology, survivorship care, and patient navigation. My dedication lies in guiding patients through complex treatment pathways, utilizing my expertise in care coordination, symptom management, and psychosocial support to improve patient outcomes.

At University Medical Center, I navigate over 50 cancer patients monthly, reducing care gaps through effective appointment coordination and EHR documentation. My role involves educating patients on chemotherapy and immunotherapy protocols, which has successfully decreased avoidable emergency department visits by 25%. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to address various barriers to care, ensuring that patients receive the holistic support they need.

As I pursue an Oncology Nurse Navigator role, I aim to combine my clinical expertise with advocacy for comprehensive cancer care. I am committed to delivering culturally competent support, particularly for Spanish-speaking patients, and empowering them with personalized survivorship care plans that promote long-term wellness.
