I am a Kimmel Cancer Center Nurse   

Brittany St. Thomas, RN {Bone Marrow Transplant, And Oncology Critical Care}

I am proud to be an oncology nurse at Hopkins, specifically in IPOP. I love getting to know our patients and their caregivers and hearing how we helped them get through bone marrow transplant. I truly feel like I’m giving back in this role, and that I’m making a difference during the most difficult time in someone’s life.

Being an oncology nurse at Hopkins means we are constantly learning, growing, and changing. Advances in research and new therapies give exciting opportunities for our patients. We must learn and adapt, often quickly, to provide the best care.

It means surrounding myself with colleagues who are compassionate, kind and smart. My coworkers are resilient, dependable, and selfless. We motivate each other to be the best version of ourselves.
