How One Cancer Nurse Exhibits Compassion on a Daily Basis
During anxious times throughout treatment, one patient details how her oncology nurse helped her to relax at visits to her cancer center.
Trish Traylor, RN, OCN, always exhibits compassion to me. She causes me to relax when I feel nervous before a treatment session. She explains everything that is happening during any treatment I get. She answers all my questions with clarity and never rushes an answer. She is extremely careful when inserting needles into my arm. Her smile always makes me feel at ease. Trish at Maryland Oncology and Hematology in Bethesda is truly a wonderful human being.
