Making oncology make sense.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by disease states, regimens, and toxicities — you're not alone. ONCO-TRIAGE™ helps new and growing APPs build a foundation, gain confidence, and walk into every exam room — and every call — prepared for what's next.
Built by an oncology NP who genuinely loves helping APPs survive and thrive.
The problem
Oncology can feel overwhelming — especially early on.
You're not underprepared. You just haven't been given a system that breaks it down into real-world, easy-to-apply lessons for the call and the clinic.
The volume is relentless.
Neutropenic fever, hypercalcemia, cord compression, immunotherapy toxicities — the list of oncology emergencies feels endless, and it keeps growing.
The early years are tough.
You're trying to keep up with complex treatments and toxicities while also building clinical judgment. It's a lot — and it's okay to admit it.
There's no roadmap for judgment.
You were taught pathophysiology, not triage. When the phone rings — or you walk into the exam room — you need a repeatable way to think, not another flashcard deck.
From phone to exam room
Prepared for any patient scenario.
ONCO-TRIAGE™ isn't just for the call. It's a way of thinking so you can walk into the exam room with a plan — no matter what the patient brings through the door.
The unexpected walk-in
A patient shows up unannounced with fever, shortness of breath, or new pain. You'll know the first three questions to ask and the red flags that change everything.
The follow-up that isn't routine
Labs are off, toxicity is escalating, or the scan showed something new. Learn to anticipate, triage, and communicate the plan before the visit ends.
The urgent phone call
Whether you're at the desk, in the car, or between patients, you'll have a mental model to sort urgency, give clear instructions, and know when to escalate.
Oncology patients often deteriorate quietly before they deteriorate rapidly.

Who this is for
Built for APPs early in their oncology journey.
This is the place for nurse practitioners and physician assistants — especially those in their first few years — who are trying to keep up with complex treatments and toxicities.
Here I share the practical pearls I wish I had starting out: real-world, easy-to-apply modules that help you survive the early years and thrive into the confident clinician you're becoming.

Oncology Emergency Cheat Sheet
A quick-reference guide for the moments that matter. Print it, save it to your phone, or keep it at the desk for when the phone rings.
- Hypercalcemia & hypocalcemia pearls
- Neutropenic fever 60-minute rule
- CTCAE grading made practical
- Immunotherapy irAE red flags
Oncology patients often deteriorate quietly before they deteriorate rapidly.
This cheat sheet helps you recognize the quiet signs early — and act fast when it counts.
The framework
Seven steps. Three phases. One repeatable way to think — on the phone and in the exam room.
Observe & Narrow
Look · Think
Start with what the patient is actually telling you — vitals, trajectory, red flags. Whether you're on the phone or at the bedside, narrow the differential before the situation gets loud.
Triage & Intervene
Triage · Act
Decide the level of care with confidence. Know when to send to the ED, when to bring them into the clinic, and when to reassure — with a defensible reason every time.
Anticipate & Close the Loop
Reassess · Educate · Follow Up
Great care doesn't end at the disposition. Reassess in hours, not days. Educate the patient so they know what to watch. Close every loop — from the exam room to the next call.
