CANCER NURSES DAY
Celebrating our exceptional nurses across Australia
What I love most about oncology is getting to help patients through their whole treatment journey – from diagnosis to surgery and treatment to end of treatment and being able to help people when they need it.
Chemi Lhamo, Nurse Unit Manager, Icon Cancer Centre Moreland
I love our patients. We’re by their side during a very unique time of their lives. They’re at their most vulnerable, so you give them a lot and get them through difficult times. It means a lot to be there for someone in this way.
Julene Wallace, Nurse Manager, Icon Cancer Centre South Brisbane
The memories of making a difference in the lives of others, especially my last few years as an oncology nurse, will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Lorna Tyrrell, Registered Nurse, Icon Cancer Centre Redland
I always wanted to be in a career where I could help people and make difference in their lives and oncology nursing has allowed me to do that.
Clare Smith, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Icon Cancer Centre South Brisbane
I have always had a passion for oncology nursing as it is a ground-breaking field where things change every day. Working as an oncology nurse offers a unique opportunity to be involved in revolutionary treatments and trials.
Annie Kennelly, Registered Nurse, Icon Cancer Centre Wesley
I’ve always found deep fulfillment in connecting with patients and offering support when they need it most, and as a cancer nurse, I get to do this every day.
