Angela Rubicam, RN, BSN

I have watched Angela over a period of almost three years develop into a leader of her peers. Angela shows compassion and true interest for every patient she cares for, and her knowledge and expertise in her role in the infusion center is impressive. She is often the nurse who trains other clinical staff who are new to the department, and she has also taken on a charge nurse role for the department. On more than one occasion over the past few years, I have witnessed Angela sitting with her patients, and assuring them that they will be okay during their infusion. I was one of those patients as well. Starting a new chemotherapy regimen is an unnerving feeling, as is receiving not-so-positive scan results, but Angela was able to calm those fears for me and help me work through them.
