MSK #Nurses Shine this Spring #NationalNursesWeek

Billy Rosa, an NP in Palliative Care, was a finalist for America’s Most Amazing Nurse! Billy was one of five finalists chosen from thousands of nominees as part of The Doctors and Prevention Magazine showcasing the most extraordinary nurses that go above and beyond the call of duty. Each of the five finalists received $1,000 toward their charity of choice, and the winner will be awarded an all-expense paid trip to Iceland! The winner will be announced in the June issue of Prevention Magazine.


Kathryn Ciccolini, an RN in Dermatology, presented on March 22 at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s 2017 Nursing Program, in conjunction with the NCCN’s Annual Conference. Kathryn’s presentation focused on the dermatological adverse events of cancer therapies. She described the various adverse events and treatment options, and addressed patient education of these events and collaboration of care with the rest of the team.


Joaimee Cutrone, an RN in Breast Imaging, recently discussed raising awareness of male breast cancer on Oncology Nursing News. She stressed provider awareness and patient education resources as keys to improving diagnosis and treatment in males, providing gender-sensitive resources and information to these patients.

MSK Nurses were out in full force at this year’s ONS Congress, presenting 34 unique posters during the various sessions.
