Wendy Bisette
Wendy was raised Charlotte, NC and attended East Carolina University. After graduation, she returned to Charlotte, got married and raised my family while working full-time and pursuing her childhood dream of becoming a nurse. She obtained her BS from Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing and graduated from WSSU with her BSN. Upon nursing graduation, her passion was oncology. She has 20 years of experience both as a bedside nurse and research in pediatric oncology. Within the last 8 yrs, she transitioned to GYN oncology as a Nurse Navigator and absolutely loves what she gets to do - helping my patients! Her calling to be an oncology RN carries her through the bad days and helps remind her of all the wonderful things that make her love what she does.
