Carolyn Vachani
Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN, is a nurse educator for OncoLink®, an award-winning cancer information website sponsored by Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center. She is an oncology advanced practice nurse and has worked in the areas of medical hematology and oncology, bone marrow transplant, clinical research, radiation therapy and staff development.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to work with cancer patients for a living?

Working with cancer patients at a comprehensive cancer center like the Abramson Cancer Center can be a rewarding experience for the men and women who have dedictated their lives’ work to caring for cancer patients and working to find a cure for cancer through research.

In this blog series, Oncolink highlights cancer care professionals to show patients, their families, friends and caregivers what it’s like to work with people who have cancer, cancer treatment and cancer research.

Check out these articles from those working in cancer care and research:
