As a nurse practitioner, I believe it is important to provide compassionate, personalized care by acknowledging each patient’s individual situation, actively listening to their concerns or questions, as well as providing education to both the patients and their loved ones. I strongly believe patients should feel well-informed and empowered to advocate for themselves and what is most important to them during their medical journey. With a background in oncology nursing, I also find it to be beneficial to approach every patient situation holistically, being mindful of the psychosocial impacts a diagnosis may have on each individual.
