BrightStar Care of Austin Celebrates National Nurses Week - Nurse Recognition
Thank You to Our Austin Director of Nursing
Nurses aren’t angels, but they may be the closest thing we have in the workplace.
For 12 of past 13 years, nurses have topped the Gallup Poll of the most trustworthy professionals. Patients and their families know why.
While doctors diagnose illnesses and prescribe medication, surgery or other treatment, it’s often nurses who explain medical procedures, help manage symptoms, respond to emergencies, listen to family concerns, allay patient fears, soothe worries and find ways to make difficult situations bearable.
A nurse’s mission is not only to save lives, but to promote and preserve quality of life.
We are very grateful to have an exceptionally compassionate Director of Nursing at BrightStar Care of Austin
and want to recognize her during National Nurses Week for all her contribution and commitment to providing our clients with a higher standard of care.
Meet Sandy Sencenbaugh, RN, Director of Nursing
Sandy's very first job in nursing was on a Medical/Surgical – Oncology floor in San Diego, California. Around 6 years ago she moved to the Austin area and found a floor very similar to my first floor, the exception to this being that they tied in orthopedics. Sandy was again the charge nurse as well as preceptor. In her free time she has been an Associate Professor at Austin Community College working with Level 1 students in the hybrid program for the last 4 years.READ MORE ABOUT OUR NURSE-LED CARE - CLICK HERE
