Kristi Wiggins, NP
Overview
"My career in oncology has spanned 30 years. Over that course of time, I have been witness to amazing advances in cancer care. My father died of leukemia when I was 11 years old. This experience shaped my life and drew me to oncology nursing. My path has been filled with varied oncology experiences, including direct patient care and clinical research. I work with an amazing team of expert clinicians that understand how the marriage of scientific curiosity and human compassion allows us to continually improve cancer care, every day with every patient. Gratitude is a gift cultivated in oncology. Patients teach us not only to live but how to have a life. Gratitude for some of my favorite things includes: the smell of rain, being mindful of the space my body occupies, shenanigans with my nieces and nephews, my dog's loving gaze, the challenge of hiking & backpacking that feeds my senses. A wise patient once told me that it is better to ""to do"" things than to ""have"" things because you never have to dust off your memories.".

Duke Adult Blood And Marrow Transplant Clinic
I was introduced to the world of oncology during my undergraduate nursing summer internship at New Hanover Hospital. After caring for these patients, I knew this population was the one I was meant to serve. Since then, I spent a short period of time working as a bedside nurse in GYN/Oncology at Duke Health before starting in the adult bone marrow transplant in 2007. Since 2007, I have worked in both the inpatient and outpatient side of adult bone marrow transplant and have worked as both a bedside nurse and currently as a nurse practitioner. I feel honored to work with such wonderful staff and patients. Ms. King is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGvHD).
