Paola Turner

Valley Baptist Medical Center
Nurse
Harlingen, TX

Hi! My name is Paola and I work at VBMC Harlingen as a charge nurse on a 42 bed adult oncology/med-surg floor. I recently became chemotherapy certified last year and am graduating this year with my BSN from UT Arlington. I love working with adult patients but am looking forward to transitioning into pediatrics. This will be the first ONS congress I attend!
