Rose Wolfe, BSN, RN, OCN, is an oncology certified nurse with 33 years of experience in oncology nursing. After earning her degree in nursing, Rose began her journey in oncology at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center on the inpatient hematology/oncology floor. She cared for a complex group of patients undergoing treatment for leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other hematologic malignancies. In 1999, Rose developed the new position of breast program coordinator for the Breast Evaluation and Treatment Program at the University of Maryland. For 9 years she coordinated the multidisciplinary program and navigated breast cancer patients from diagnosis through treatment, which included chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Rose continued her work in oncology for 10 years at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center where she worked in a variety of capacities including outpatient infusion, survivorship and navigation. She guided hundreds of patients through the complexities of treatment and survivorship while utilizing patient-centered care and evidenced-based practice.
In 2018, she transitioned to the Johns Hopkins Naviance program, an employee benefit program for cancer navigation, prevention and support to continue supporting patients and caregivers who are affected by cancer. She has a strong belief in integrative care and works diligently to incorporate complementary practices into mainstream care. Understanding that cancer care affects mind, body and spirit, Rose continues to provide whole-person care in order to maintain quality of life for patients undergoing treatment for cancer and through survivorship.
Rose is a longtime member of the AONN+ Policy and Advocacy Committee.
