My name is Danielle, nurse owner & creator of Peachtree RN.

​

My background is primarily adult-gerontology oncology. After a few years working inpatient oncology, I went back to school for my MSN to become a clinical nurse specialist (CNS). 

​

During grad school, I worked as the oncology nurse educator on the inpatient unit where I grew up. I was also introduced to ambulatory cancer care including infusion, clinic, and radiation oncology.

​

Shortly after graduating and passing my boards, the hospital started cutting non-essential positions to recover from lost revenue due to covid, and I lost my new CNS job. 

​

I eventually found myself creating patient and HCP cancer education as a medical editor at the American Cancer Society. 

​

At this point, I missed oncology nursing. I missed oncology nurses. A lot of folks don't know what a CNS is or that they are one of four APRN roles. When I was in grad school, our advisor always said that the CNS is the nurses' nurse, and I've never been able to find a better way to put it.

 

My focus as a CNS is supporting the nurse, whether that be consulting at the bedside, as an EBP mentor, quality improvement expert, ethical consult, or you just need to grab some chocolate and hide for a minute - that was truly what I felt most connected to as an oncology nurse. 

 

Over the last ten years, I've created resources, cheat sheets, prep classes, orientation books, and other educational tools for oncology nurses. I also have dyslexia and learning from long texts just doesn't do it for me! I'd end up re-writing notes and always felt like I was memorizing more than I was learning. 

​

Whether you are a brand-new nurse, new-to-oncology, or an experienced clinician, I'm glad you're here! I'd love to hear from you, and my mailbox is always open.

​

With gratitude, 

​
