  • In my work environment, I enjoy learning new roles. I can serve as a liaison nurse one day, an Isotope RN on another and a scrub nurse the next. I come to work knowing and trusting my colleagues will help me provide safe care. I understand that backup is a phone call away and will be provided immediately if necessary.

    Irma Clinical Nurse

  • As a part of the Minimally Invasive Service group, I have been able to see how innovative technology has changed and improved with da Vinci Robotic surgeries. I get to see the latest technology be put in place for our patients and utilized for their cancer care. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the patient's journey.

    Michelle Clinical Nurse

  • The most satisfying aspect of working as a surgical tech here at MD Anderson is the various types of cases that we get to assist in, along with working with world-renowned doctors. We offer many types of surgeries that other places simply do not offer. This gives us the opportunity to broaden our case knowledge.

    Phillip Certified Surgical Technologist

  • I began working in the Main OR at MD Anderson 21 years ago. I wanted challenge and I enjoy variety, so I learned to scrub and circulate all five services. I later transferred to the Center for Reconstructive Surgery where I learned all phases of reconstruction. I've grown professionally and personally and plan to retire here.
