As a clinical nurse specialist in the neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and pain and palliative care units at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, he strives to impart his commitment to other nurses. {partial transcript} My name is Wayne Quashie and I’m a clinical nurse specialist on the neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, orthopedics and pain and palliative care floor and my role really is on the educator and chemical resource for all the staff on the unit with the main diagnosis of cancer you've already experienced the loss, a loss of health and sometimes a loss of dreams. We deal with the person from that initial loss of that cancer diagnosis and then work with them through the trajectory of the disease and sometimes you may have to get to that point where it's the last moments of life. I’m Dee, I’m another nurse on the floor. I’ve worked on the oncology floor for three years now. Wayne reminds you that you're here for patient care. You know we never lose focus of that here. I always say to myself if it was me or my family member I would want them to be taken care of like this. The thing that most of the nurses learn very quickly is the technical part the technical skills, that's pretty straightforward. You learn how to hang blood you learn how to give meds, you learn all that stuff, that’s very easy. Now the real work begins they still have to learn from the get go how do you work with family members that are undergoing illness, because the families undergoing the illness. We’re not only treating the patients we’re treating the family too. For us to really do what we do we have to really be compassionate and be able to connect when I going to patients rooms and I can see the pictures on the wall. To us Mr Smith is this patient. But to the family members Mr Smith is that person on the wall that's drinking a Pina Colada on vacation. In the face of illness, there’s no way but to really connect with them and really share in their joys and share in their sorrows.
