The oncologist nurses at the Shaw Regional Cancer Care Center are vital components of the Shaw cancer care team. In spite of challenges of their profession, Shaw oncology nurses deliver compassionate, quality care on a day-to-day basis because of their high level of skills, knowledge, and dedication. Nurses at the Shaw take on leadership roles that ensure a continuum of quality cancer care for each patient by organizing and managing the cancer treatments and services throughout the journey to surviving cancer. Even though the Shaw Regional Cancer Care Center nurses are focused on the care, comfort, and healing of the patients, they also help families and caregivers deal with the uncertainties, anxieties, and misconceptions that are a part of the cancer experience.
I am the full-time Radiation Oncology Nurse and I am also chemotherapy certified to help in the infusion area. After working in healthcare field for eight years, I decided to return to school later in life and received my nursing degree from Front Range Community College in Westminster, CO. While working Float Pool at St. Joseph Hospital, I found a love for Oncology patients and happily joined the team at Shaw in March 2008. Since joining the team, I have obtained my Oncology Nurse Certification. Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I have called Summit County home for 23 years. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two teenage sons camping, trail running and Nordic skiing. |  |
