I have extensive experience managing chemotherapy regimens, including dose calculations, monitoring for adverse effects, and ensuring adherence to protocols. I collaborate closely with oncologists to tailor treatments based on patient-specific factors such as renal/hepatic function and comorbidities. My role also involves educating patients about potential side effects and supportive care measures to optimize outcomes.

I stay updated by regularly reviewing clinical guidelines, attending conferences, and participating in professional organizations like ASHP and HOPA. I also subscribe to oncology-focused journals and engage in continuing education programs. This ensures I remain knowledgeable about emerging therapies, clinical trials, and best practices to provide evidence-based care.

I managed a patient with severe neutropenia post-chemotherapy who developed a life-threatening infection. I recommended adjusting the chemotherapy dose, initiating granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and optimizing antimicrobial therapy. Through close monitoring and interdisciplinary collaboration, the patient recovered fully, highlighting the importance of tailored interventions and teamwork.

I adhere to USP <800> standards, ensuring proper use of personal protective equipment, closed-system transfer devices, and safe handling protocols. I also train staff on spill management and monitor compliance with safety measures. Regular audits and updates to institutional policies further minimize risks to healthcare workers and patients.

I use clear, patient-friendly language to explain treatment goals, potential side effects, and self-care strategies. I provide written materials and visual aids to reinforce understanding and encourage questions. By fostering open communication, I empower patients to actively participate in their care, improving adherence and overall outcomes.
