I have over five years of experience working in oncology nursing, with the last three years focused on radiation oncology. In my previous role, I coordinated patient care by developing individualized treatment plans, scheduling radiation therapy sessions, and collaborating with oncologists, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals. I also provided patient education on treatment processes, side effects, and self-care strategies. My experience ensures seamless care delivery and enhances patient outcomes.

I address patient anxiety by providing clear, compassionate communication and education about the radiation therapy process. I explain what to expect during treatment, potential side effects, and coping strategies. I also encourage patients to ask questions and express their concerns, ensuring they feel heard and supported. Building trust and rapport helps alleviate anxiety and fosters a positive patient experience.

I proactively assess patients for potential side effects and implement evidence-based interventions to manage them. This includes monitoring skin reactions, fatigue, and gastrointestinal symptoms, and providing tailored recommendations such as skincare routines, dietary adjustments, and rest strategies. I also collaborate with the care team to adjust treatment plans as needed, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout therapy.

I strictly adhere to established safety protocols, including proper use of protective equipment, accurate patient positioning, and precise radiation dosing. I regularly participate in safety training and stay updated on best practices. Additionally, I conduct routine audits and educate patients and staff on safety measures to minimize risks and ensure a safe treatment environment.

I prioritize tasks by assessing the urgency and complexity of each patient’s needs. I use organizational tools like electronic health records and task lists to track progress and deadlines. Effective communication with the care team ensures timely interventions, while delegation of appropriate tasks to support staff helps maintain efficiency. This approach ensures all patients receive high-quality, individualized care.
