Navigation from the Fence

Robin Atkinson, RN, BSN, OCN
When planting my feet on the ground after my daughter’s wedding, I was blindsided with the news from my sister that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She found out the week of the wedding but chose not to tell me until after the wedding festivities were completed. (3 days after the wedding)

GYN Navigator

Robin Atkinson, RN, BSN, OCN
I have asked Robin Atkinson to share about her GYN Navigation position and how it evolved from an idea to a full-time position. Her story reflects an idea that was taken to a cancer program by a champion who had a plan for this vision.
