The Tallahassee Democrat wrote an article about Nicki Sanders, a cancer survivor and RN who's career has been significantly influenced by her cancer experiences over the years. Sanders is a breast cancer survivor and now works as the breast cancer nurse navigator at Capital Regional Medical Center. She decided that she wanted to be a nurse when she was 18 and diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Sanders had to have her spleen removed and the incredible care she received from the nurses inspired her to become a nurse.
