One patient recounts how his oncology nurse's love for healing helped him on his treatment journey.
Extraordinary Healer® Vol. 14
With the Extraordinary Healer ® Award for Oncology Nursing, we at CURE® present our readers with a unique opportunity each year to honor oncology nurses who have helped guide them through the cancer experience. This year, many patients, survivors, caregivers and health professionals submitted inspirational essays describing the compassion, expertise and helpfulness that these special nurses exhibited.
We have compiled their tributes in Extraordinary Healers®: CURE ® Readers Honor Oncology Nurses, Volume 14, which celebrates the extraordinary men and women who make a difference in patients’ lives. Coupled with compelling photography, these moving stories of oncology nurses are told in CURE® readers’ own words.
Oncology nurses are there for many moments on the cancer journey and can help champion important milestones that might otherwise go by unnoticed.
In the winning essay for the Finest Hour award, Evangelina SantaTeresa, CCRN, details how the human touch makes all the difference for award winner Elizabeth “Liz” Farrat, B.S.N., CCRN at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
In a finalist essay, Laurie Loe details why Vicki Dodson, B.S.N., RN, OCN, is an extraordinary healer and a great mentor.
Lynne O’Connor’s winning essay describes how Christine Santure, B.S.N., RN, OCN, is this year’s Extraordinary Healer winner by caring for the caregiver.
