Mansura, Monica, and Nina deserve kudos for their hard work and dedication to ensure oncology patients are able to receive correct medications in a timely manner. They always have a smile and a positive attitude when helping patients in the clinic. They are great at multitasking, as the clinic nurses, unit clerk, and pharmacist often ask them to perform tasks at the same time.
