About txredapple79

txredapple79 has 9 years experience as a BSN and specializes in Management.

Clinical Services Operations Manager in the dialysis sector. A ton of work but an amazing experience. Love driving my team to succeed and show how coaching a team up leads to higher productivity. I will always speak up for my team and advocate for higher standards and support my team day in and day out. My motto will always be, "We are the team others wish to be on, and supervisors wish they had".
