Marie-Flore Balan

Having been in the healthcare field for 17 years, 6 years as a licensed practical nurse and 11 years as a nurse, I have acquired diverse skills in many areas, particularly in hematology/oncology (bone marrow transplant) and geriatrics. Always driven to move forward, I obtained a bachelor's degree in nursing 2 years ago and am currently working in the outpatient oncology clinic as a clinical nurse.
