Nurse Navigators
“I want my patients to know that in addition to being their nurse or being the navigator at the hospital, I am also a wife, a mother, a daughter, a human being- and I have been through this journey just as they have been.”

It’s important to let our patients know that we will not only be a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on, but that we’re also their biggest cheerleader…being there every step of the way…that’s what counts.”

“I feel like I’m very compassionate. I like to put myself in their position, treat them as I would want to be treated if I were going through a similar diagnosis or situation … I try to be that support person … we just have to let them know that we care.”
