I have over five years of experience as an Oncology LPN/LVN, primarily in outpatient settings. I have administered chemotherapy, managed patient symptoms, and provided emotional support. My experience includes working closely with oncologists to develop care plans and ensure patient comfort during treatments.

I prioritize self-care and have a strong support network both at work and home. I also engage in regular debriefing sessions with colleagues to process difficult cases. Additionally, I find fulfillment in providing compassionate care, which helps balance the emotional challenges.

I use clear, simple language and encourage patients to ask questions. I also provide written materials and use visual aids when necessary. I ensure they understand the benefits, risks, and potential side effects of their treatment. Patient education is a continuous process, and I follow up to address any concerns.

I maintain open communication with oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and social workers. Regular team meetings and huddles help us stay aligned on patient care. I also use electronic health records to document patient interactions and share updates promptly.

I once had a patient who was refusing treatment due to fear. I spent time building trust, explaining the benefits, and involving the patient's family in the discussion. Eventually, the patient agreed to treatment, and I continued to provide support throughout the process.
