Congratulations to Amy O’Shea, RN, BSN, OCN, for being named a Top 10 Nurse by the San Antonio Express News.

O’Shea began her career at Mays Cancer Center in 2014 and has made a big impact on her patients.

“Several times during my eight-month treatment, I wanted to give up,” said one of O’Shea’s patients, who nominated her for the honor. “But she was always there with the right words and special touches. I would watch her with other patients and knew she was truly an angel on earth.”
