Meet our TCT Team, Wendy R., BMT RN

What do you do? 

I’m one of the inpatient BMT RN’s that care  for the TCT patients. We are responsible for the infusion/recording of the Bone Marrow cells or Car-T cells as well as daily care.

Why did you pursue a career in oncology/BMT?

About 17 years ago I had the opportunity to float to the Oncology unit and I was hooked. I loved the patients and their life stories, and I enjoyed the complexity of their care.

What do I want people to know about getting their care at MVH?

That the staff on the Oncology/BMT unit are the most caring, hard working nurses that I have ever come in contact with. We treat the patients like they are “our own family.”

When I’m not caring for patients what do I do? 

I love to travel, mountain bike, kayak, hang with the family and read.

Anything else I’d like to share?

I am extremely proud to be part of this amazing team, and very humbled to be chosen to be the first Auto/Allo/Car-T nurse in the state of Nevada.
