“I would say there’s a lot more work than what you get paid for, but you also care about these people, and you have a relationship with them...It could be a hard job for people emotionally because people die, people get diagnosed with cancer, and have bad things happen. So it can be emotionally hard to tell someone, maybe that their cancer is not curable. For some reason, the oncologists often don’t say that, and they are asking you, and they are trusting you.” (Emily Miesse, APRN)
