Lynn Carbino, RN, BSN, was a featured speaker at the 50th Annual Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Congress held recently in Denver. Carbino presented during a portion of the conference called Cancer: A Love Story, and shared how a chance meeting with a newly diagnosed cancer patient – who would later become her husband – shaped her passion and purpose in oncology. She illustrated how love, empathy and human connection are at the core of nursing, and how those bonds can lead to healing and personal transformation. Carbino has worked at Greenwich Hospital for over 30 years and is currently an oncology nurse navigator at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Greenwich. The ONS Congress is the largest gathering of oncology nurses in the country.
