Her Story
About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Neverette is an oncology nurse with seven years of experience. She began her career in inpatient oncology at hospitals before transitioning to outpatient infusion centers, where she administers chemotherapy and immunotherapy while also performing cancer navigation duties such as educating patients on medications and radiation treatments, securing insurance authorizations, and monitoring side effects. Currently based at Associated Medical Professionals in Syracuse, New York, since December, she is advancing her education by pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice at Upstate Medical University, expected to complete in 2028, with plans to remain in adult oncology. She earned her BSN through a dual-degree program at Le Moyne College and St. Joseph's College of Nursing. In December she obtained her OCN certification, and in May she was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau. Neverette attributes her success to her own motivation and the guidance of her driven parents, and she values patient safety along with providing up-to-date, safe, and equitable care. She is inspired by the long-term relationships built with patients and families in oncology.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jacqueline
01What do you attribute your success to?
I've always been pretty motivated, driven individual, but I would say that both my parents were pretty motivated, driven people as well. They both have successful careers and are both now retired, but they always worked really hard, but they always kind of put that wisdom and guidance on my brother and I.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Sticking true to your morals and values, like, within your career.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
If you're interested in it, definitely try and do, like, internships or, shadowing experiences, just to kind of get a feel for it, and don't be afraid to, like, talk to people and see what else is out there, because there's a lot of areas within oncology that you can work in that don't necessarily require you to be a bedside nurse. There's just a lot of options out there if you don't really think that nursing is technically for you, and you don't want to work at the bedside. Like, you could be a navigator, you could be in oncology research, there's just a lot of different things that you could do with it.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I really prioritize, like, patient safety, just, like, providing patients with quality care that is up-to-date, it's safe, and it's equitable, are really, like, some of my big things.
